Ironically, taken the day after I got my new camera... but didn't have it with me… so this was shot on an iPhone.

Hard crop on the left to remove some very ugly buildings & emphasise the lighting. The additional lighting through & underneath the car, & also the highlighting on the front grille were actually coincidental & fortuitous.
I was on location for a movie, on the tarmac at a small airport. The set is behind me; the car wasn't in the scene so was parked off to one side. The lighting was therefore 'just there'.

It's had some cleanup in Photoshop [& the irritating distraction of another hopeful photographer 100yds away, right in the middle of the shot removed] but far less added colour-punch than you would think - it really did look very much like that on the day. It doesn't hurt at all the the car is actually dark purple anyway. The tarmac was intentionally wet down for the film scene going on behind me, which is why it ends rather abruptly.
