2005 Toyota Corolla T Sport Compressor | Llannor, Gwynedd

The Corolla T Sport Compressor is a supercharged three-door hot hatch from the mid-2000s, sold as a run-out version of the T Sport. Its 1.8-litre engine makes 215 bhp and was quoted at 6.9 seconds to 60mph. The styling stays quiet, with 17-inch wheels, twin tailpipes and white-backed dials as the clues. This car is black with a red interior. The dark paint keeps the subtle body kit understated, while the red cabin gives close-up and interior shots a strong flash of colour. It has room for five. The discreet early-2000s look suits road scenes, music videos and enthusiast photography, where a fast hatchback can sit naturally in the background of an everyday street. At an automotive event or display, the supercharged engine tells a clear story about early-2000s Japanese performance. It also makes a characterful choice for a wedding or personal hire. The car is based in Bangor, Gwynedd.
