Usually when it comes to vectoring, Adobe Illustrator is the first choice but for me, Adobe Flash comes first in mind :D
Here's the simple tutorial on how to vector a sports car.
Download the Car photo here : http://the-pit-monsterstock.deviantart.com/art/Car-stock-29-59811242
Step 1
Open Adobe Flash and go to File> Import> Import to stage. Locate the saved car photo and click OK.
Step 2
We need to make the photo look transparent for easier tracing later on. To do this, click on the photo and press F8. Choose the graphic option and click OK.
Step 3
Select the photo and on the properties bar (Ctrl-F3), change the Color bar to Alpha. Set the opacity to 38% - 50%.
Step 4
You can now use the pencil or pen tool to start draw the outline of the car. You might want to set the "Smoothing" to 60 and the option part (below the tools) to "Smooth" for better tracing :)
Step 5
Once you've done with the outline, it's time to color the car. Use the paint bucket tool to fill in the color you prefer. You can even use the gradient colors!
Step 6
Remove the photo layer and you're done! Try export the image to JPG or any other format for various usage.

hey thanks for the tut. (:
Aik so simple ar..but if want to vectorized a potrait must be hard right? i tried but it takes a huge amount of patience..
Choosing a car is bit difficult , since in the market wide range of cars are available. You need to consult an expert who can compare different branded cars. I prefer Eu Neuwagen to consult and get the right brand.
this looks more easy than I thought, and for the picture this don't take so much time to make this, by the way I think that in this way was make the graphic effects to Transformer the movie.
Thanks for the experiment. Keep posting. I bookmarked it and follow your blog.
