It's in Present Perfect tense.
I have a car. (Present Simple)
I have got a car. (Present Perfect)
Here, "have" acts as the auxiliary verb and "got" is the past participle form of the verb "get", hence the second sentence is in the Present Perfect tense.

I have got is present (though not totally grammatically sound)
I have gotten is present perfect. (have + past participle)
The present perfect is used when we described what has happened in the past with a connection to the present, but with no time reference. eg:
I have been to India.
Incidentally, the past perfect is used when there is no connection to the present. eg.
Charles Dickens had written four books before he moved to London.

Present illiterate. All you need to say is "I have."
