2006 Audi TT MK1 | Swinton, South Yorkshire

A 2006 Audi TT Mk1, the compact two-door Audi known for its rounded, simple shape, which stayed close to the 1995 Frankfurt show car. The Mk1 ran from 1998 to 2006, with turbocharged four-cylinder and six-cylinder engines. This car is finished in grey with a black interior, a restrained pairing that lets the curved bodywork do the work in front a camera. Under the bonnet is a 3.2-litre engine, the six-cylinder that joined the range in 2003. Built in 2006, the last year of the Mk1, it has two seats. The smooth panels and tight proportions suit automotive photography, where light runs cleanly along the body, and mid-2000s scenes in film and TV. Grey over black also sits easily in fashion and editorial work and music videos. It makes a smart arrival for a wedding too. The car is based in Swinton, South Yorkshire.
