Car lighting question

[IanH]

I found this superb image on a car forum that I also use and was curious on how the image was captured.
Especially how the car is totally blacked out on the one side. Is it just a very fast shutter speed?
Cheers
Ian.

bit of a pants shot too. not enough light on the car

The window isn't the only light.
In fact the specular highlights are at a completely different angle, and there is also frontal lighting present, although that could be from a reflector.

My guess is that this shot owes more to PS than to the lighting

Looks like straight shot using the window to me, which is obviously bigger than we can see.

Then the background cleaned up to pure black in post.

Edit: the position of the car could have been shifted a bit to make the final composition, but I'm not sure it has.
