Please keep in mind, this paper model is part of my KoolWheelz Collection. These are meant to be small, simplified and usually stylized versions of the real thing. The whole idea is a one-sheet free download model

using as few parts as possible. Some models are more complicated than others.

Check out the Police (Hover) Cruiser as well!

Hope you enjoyed it.

Its designed to be a simple one-sheet model with few parts.

Its also very small scale.

And its free.

I also did a model of the Police Car (Hover).

That car doesn't look like it would be too hard to scratch. 

the real car is a lot more curvy than the paper model

Carving wood allows you to make any curves necessary.  Since the windows are very dark, you don't need a hollow interior, so you could probably carve it from a single block, sawn to profile and planform.

Cool!  I thought that was a great movie.  My wife named her Miniature Pinscher "Lilu."

That car doesn't look like it would be too hard to scratch.  No wheels, anyway, which are the hardest things usually in scratching a car.  You could use the paper to get drawing for profile and plan views, need something else to come up with sections.

paper model of the Taxi from Fifth Element movie. Not finding any kits of this subject except for a rare resin kit that's long oop, i decided to build this paper version. although it lacks the curves, the roofline required a lot of tabs just to get this basic shape.

I don't think i'll be build more paper models. Maybe it'll inspire me to scratchbuild my own car.
