As it stands, it's a short video with a limited range of shots.
As the car, as you imply, is the car, you really need to treat it like your model. Some of the shots seemed to pay too much attention to the floor - the car was just an object floating in the frame.
Where was the variety of close ups, the inside of the car, the dials, the "intimate" detail. Fir example a pair of booming speakers, or blinking hazards; twitching dials or embossed logos; dust kicked up from the tyres.
I've made plenty of videos with no purpose. Just cos I love filming and editing. A lot of that stuff just sits on my hard drive or Vimeo after editing - not really bothered if anyone ever watches it, as I make them to record my own "moments" (so that's a purpose I guess).
To summarise, you obviuosly have a passion for editing, and demonstrate a burgeoning talent. I suggest you work on those techniques, think about how to use those to draw in your viewer, and above all get out, film and have fun.
