Bentley Motors has unveiled its ground-breaking new Gigapixel photograph – one of the world’s most detailed landscape images.
At the heart of the photograph sits a Bentley Flying Spur W12 S in the luxury marina of Dubai.
Zoom out, and the groundbreaking NASA-derived technology of the Gigapixel image allows you to explore and experience the city panorama in intricate detail.

Viewers can also explore the Flying Spur W12 S inside and out with a 360-degree film narrated by John Paul Gregory, Bentley’s head of exterior design.
Bentley said it suspended a camera 264 metres up the Cayan Tower in Dubai to capture the image. The innovative technology used had to withstand 40-degree heat that created a haze and 25 km/h winds that threatened to disrupt stability.
A total of 57.7 billion pixels were carefully stitched together to create a single image that also balanced light levels painstakingly across each pixel. The intricate process took 48 hours and 1,825 frames to create. Saving the image to a disk took a further 18 hours.
At the heart of the photograph sits the Bentley Flying Spur W12 S which can achieve a top speed of 325 km/h (202 mph).
