This Bentley photo is out of this world

Bentley reckons it’s created the “world’s most extraordinary car photograph”.

The ‘gigapixel’ image features the new Mulsanne Extended Wheelbase on San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge.

It was created using technology originally developed by NASA to enable Mars rovers to take exploratory panoramic photographs.

Viewers can use an innovative, interactive zoom function to travel from 700 metres out all the way into the Mulsanne’s cabin – right down to the 4,500 individual stitches in the embroidered ‘Winged B’ headrest logo.

An incredible 4,425 times larger than a typical smartphone image, this extraordinary photograph is made up of approximately 53 billion pixels (or 53,000 megapixels).

It was produced by taking 700 individual shots from the same location and ‘stitching’ them together digitally. The result, if reproduced in standard print format, would be the size of a football field.

“Nowhere is Bentley’s famed attention to detail better demonstrated than with our new Mulsanne,” explained Bentley’s Kevin Rose.

“We wanted to commission this shot to capture both the exquisite detailing of the Mulsanne and the epic scale of our brand’s ambitions. We believe the result is truly extraordinary.”
