Download wings. = Free
Download Sculpty exporter. = Free
Google for "car, model, 3ds, obj" and find auto models = Free
Google for Gimp. = Free
Import model into wings.
Create and duplicate an assortment of sculpty compatible objects.
Mold sculpty objects into the shape of the car parts.
Texture.
Export in pieces using sculpty exporter.
Upload to SL your sculpty textures and diffuse textures.
Assemble in world, texture, link, script, enjoy!

Lowen gives good advice.
There is an In-World buidling tool, and you *could* use it to make a car. Doing the best you can with the inworld tool can be fun.
However, to make a fabulous looking Ferrari you will need to use some external tool, such as Wings , Blender, Maya, or any number of others. Search the SL wiki for lots more information.
Also, these external tools must be utilized in a specific way to make their output compatible with SL. You don't just model, and then upload.
