Lets say in 10 years, 3D printing technology become so advanced, almost anything can be perfectly replicated. So I find some leaked car 3d file, I download it, I print the car. What current laws would I be violating? Civil or criminal? And what future laws can you anticipate?

As someone mentioned, the car won’t have a VIN so it won’t be able to registered or insured in most developed countries. What people do is borrow a VIN from an existing car, which isn’t really legal, but could be passable in day to day driving. That’s why there’s R34 GTRs in North America registered as 240SXs or Altimas, or so the stories go.
