- star, err... car from the title movie.
The Challenger Road-Track with its supercharged 500hp hemi engine and 
the notorious OA5599 license plate.

A few months ago I had the opportunity to buy a similar beast but my 
wife already called me a complete idiot for even thinking for a second 
about it. Oh well :( ...so all I was left to do was buying the blu-ray 
and (after many, many years) watching it over and over again (by paying 
particular attention to the 70ies car varnish).

Anyway, two test images with different lighting setup meant to check the 
textures out - first: only radiosity without any light_source, second: 
one point-light and a faint fill-light but without any GI.

Modeled in Blender, textured and rendered with POV-Ray. Render time was 
about 35 minutes for each image at full 1920x1200 resolution.
The model is not as accurate as I had hoped, but - as usual - I lost 
patience at some point.
Currently I'm working on adding some dirt and desert dust using Jaime's 
baking method ...
