You could paint the Terragen scene onto a background plane as an
image_map that exactly fills the screen. (The methods in
incdemo/screen.pov might possibly be useful for positioning). And create
your vehicle in front of it.

finish {ambient 1} to prevent shadows being cast onto the backdrop.

There was a recent thread somewhere dealing with how to preserve the
gamma.
