That's not how that works.

The design of the car is copyrighted. A photograph of the car is a derivative work (legal term). The derivative belongs to the person who created it but the holder of the original still controls their aspect of your work. In simplest terms, if you don't have permission to take photos then you do own your photograph but publishing it is instant infringement of the car creator's copyright.

TL;DR The owner of the car design is prohibited from using your photo by your copyright, but you can't publish it without his permission either.
