Thanks Masakari987, yes I will post orthographic views when done, if anyone is interested. Right now, I already published here a lowres 3D blueprint of the chassis.

About the sidewall, Blender does have a text tool, there's no problem about that. I've also get a high res pic of the sidewall, so I can read pretty well what's written on the tire. The problem is finding the right fonts !

About polycount, I'm today at 580651 quads with surface subdivision used as little as possible. Since I've bought a brand new computer (Core2Duo E6600 with 2GB of DDR2 PC6400 and GeForce 8600GT), I'm working fine with such a polycount. The previous system (Athlon XP1700, 512MB PC2700, GeForce 4MX) was sick when only thinking about such a model !
