It probably hasn’t escaped your notice that today is Halloween. And to celebrate the spookiest day of the year, Vauxhall has created the world’s largest GPS drawing with a Halloween theme.
The drawing was created by the new Vauxhall Corsa, which went on sale this month, which undertook a 6,080-mile-long trip of Britain in order to create the drawing.
And the drawing was officially designated as the world’s largest GPS drawing by the Guinness Book of World Records earlier this week, topping the previous record of 4,500 miles.
The artist who created the drawing was US-born Jeremy Wood, one of pioneers of GPS art. The Corsa recorded an astonishing 264,000 GPS positions to create a virtual dot-to-dot drawing.
“There are Corsas in every village, town and city in Britain,” said Simon Hucknall, Vauxhall’s PR Manager. “So we thought it fitting that the new model should visit as many of them as possible to celebrate its arrival. Halloween-day coincided with the end of our press launch, and our GPS artist drove like a bat out of hell to produce an apt image of epic proportions.”
Impressively, the Corsa, which was powered by the 1.0-litre ECOTEC petrol engine, managed to average over 50mpg – an impressive feat considering that Wood admitted he wasn’t exactly driving for economy.
