I think nobody's answering because the problem is not really clear...

you want to apply the hdri as image based lighting? But it's not working, correct?

So what have you done so far? Usually you have to create an ibl-node (render settings>indirect lighting>image based lighting>create) and load the hdri there. Than you have to turn final gather on and make sure, that raytracing is enabled. Don't forget to turn off default lighting as well.

Have you done this already? Car modell is looking good so far...keep it up!

It kind of looks like you have maya default lighting still on, and I think your HDR's mapping type might be incorrect, try toggling that.
