I've never tried this before, so could anyone give me some tip about making
a scale model in Lego of an actual car?

I have pictures, movies, games, and lots of other info about the car, but
don't know where to start and what I have to look for specially...

I do not have pictures right here and now that I can present you.

But I can give a hint; it is a racing car made in Norway  :)


Regards
Øyvind Steinnes
