If a car moves consistently at 80 kmh and it weighs at 600kg, is it not generating any force? since you know, a=0, am I stupid or is Newton ?

Because the word force means how hard you’re pushing something, not how much energy it has.
Let’s pretend we’re on a bike instead.
The word ‘force’ means how hard you’re pushing on the pedals.
If you’re going 40 km/h (and if we pretend we live in a magic land of high school physics where friction and air resistance don’t exist) on flat land, you don’t have to pedal at all. If you’re not pushing the pedals, you’re not putting in any force and you will continue going 40 km/h. If you want to go faster, you will have to start pushing the pedals.
