I'd say the main thing you need to create an image like that is a lot of
tallent and skill.
Something similar to this could be done with any decent digital camera,
given that
you have that really nice car, a nice studio to work in a great knowlege
of
reflections
and how to control them, etc.. I'm sure you get the point.
Given that you had the tallent and skill you could create an image much
like
that
using 3D studio, Maya, Lightwave, or any of a number of 3D modeling and
rendering programs. There is even at least one free 3D package that can
give results likr this, but I'll bet it is really hard.
I've even seen evidence that there are people that can make an image much
like that using an air-brush. The airbrusk can either be a physical
sprayer,
or
a brush in a good paint program like Photoshop.
It usually is the result of years of practice. Sometimes there will be
teams
working together. At this point there are so many tools to make great
images
at any price you can imagine. Today the tools have much less to do with
the
output than the ability and knowlege of the artist.
