Need help modelling a high poly car!

FEMTO

Hi all,

I am interested in modelling a high poly car (about 60,000 polygons) I have never modelled a car before. So I am stuck on where to get references from. Exterior references is not a problem, but I am mainly after detailed interior plans of car engine, suspensions etc. even detailed plans of the underside. Basically I am after good detailed references that will help me to model an entire car. I am mainly after rally type sports car references. It does not matter which car in particular, any will do. Please help me! If you can help then thank you kindly, and if you can’t then thank you kindly for taking the time to read my post!

Not much hope to find plans for mechanical stuff, best way would be to buy a model kit (some of them are very accurate) and combine that info with photos you can find.
Also i have heard that there is a very slim chance to get blueprints from the manufacturer if you ask nicely and from the right person and maybe some fans have them (you might try car forums).
And part catalogues have diagrams (that dont always match the particular part tho) for example www.realoem.com is BMW catalogue.

It mostly has to do with exterior, but it might be of help.
