LS is talking about automobile engineers ... Although the names of engineering and design are confused in many places, there are essential differences between them.
If you are a designer, the most important thing is modeling ability and modeling skills. In other words, you should have a very complete and systematic spatial thinking consciousness in your mind. For example, a surface, what shape and characteristics it will present at various angles is very important. The life of automobile design is curved surface. Then there is how to express the shape. That is, hand painting. I have seen many middle school students' hand-painted, and their expressions are still immature. Even high school students majoring in fine arts can hardly adapt to the brushwork of drawing automobile renderings at once, which requires very long training. I painted 1000 Zhang Cai, and I almost felt it. There is also computer-aided representation, which is further. Then there is the basic introduction of various automobile foundations, such as the general layout of the car body. As a designer, although it is not necessary to directly participate in engineering design, these are all contents that must be mastered.
As for what you are going to do now. The most important thing is to put car design aside for the time being, prepare for the senior high school entrance examination and prepare for the college entrance examination three years later. Even hand-drawing doesn't take much time to practice. You will really enter this field in the university in the future, and you will have plenty of time and opportunities to practice.
There are three excellent schools specializing in automobile design in China: Tsinghua, Jida and Tongji. Look at your side, the score of three points is not very low anyway, especially in Tsinghua. It should be noted, however, that Tsinghua is affiliated to Tsinghua Academy of Fine Arts and enrolls art students. In addition, industrial design can easily enter the field of automobile design.
So in high school, you have two choices. The first one is to study science. Through the college entrance examination, I was admitted to the automobile design major of Jida and Tongji schools. These schools all enroll science students in automobile design. Many schools also enroll science students in the industrial design major. The second is to study art, take an examination of beauty, and try to be beautiful. There are many arts and industrial design majors that can also be tested.

Ok ... it can be further developed in the future.
Although the lines are still stiff, although the light and shadow performance and material performance are still not in place, everything can be solved as long as you are interested.
Please refer to the above for details.
I study industrial design, not automobile design. Of course, I am also moving in this direction. You can look at some things I made, not all the cars:

Sketch is hand-drawn, which can be drawn on a tablet or on paper. I didn't learn that until I went to college. It's serious to do a good job now, and there's nothing we can do about basic education in China.
