I guess you could get away with work lights and long exposures but the one thing you really need to get the best results is some big white panels of some sort to get nice reflections and more black to block everything else out. The last thing you want is a reflection of you, the camera, the rest of the unit, etc. Getting the reflections right is the key to a good "studio" shot of a car.
 
I wouldn't ask for anything for the shoot if I were you. Without wishing to sound disrespectful you don't seem to know about lighting and it's not the sort of thing you can blag.
