What does it take for a simple picture of a car on a bridge to beat the highest level of awesomeness?
The answer seems to have been found by Bentley, who clicked the Bentley Mulsanne Extended Wheelbase on San Francisco’s iconic Golden Gate Bridge using technology originally developed by NASA to enable Mars rovers to take exploratory panoramic photographs.
The result was 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) and was created by taking 700 individual shots from the same location and ‘stitching’ them together digitally. If reproduced in standard print format, the image would be the size of a football field.
Now that the British manufacturer had possibly the largest image of an automobile, they had to come out with a way to properly showcase, or show off, the detailing of it. So they came out with an 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, which you can find here.
Now that’s some way to showcase a extended wheelbase version of your flagship model.
