Mazda record breaker
September 21, 2010
Mazda broke a world record at the weekend by forming the longest continuous MX-5 parade of all time.
A total of 459 vehicles from 17 countries took part in the event staged in Essen, Germany.
Jeff Guyton, President and CEO Mazda Motor Europe, said: “The excitement leading up to this event was amazing. Over 600 MX-5 owners applied to take part; so many that we didn’t have room for them all because of technical reasons. The event, the parade, the many visitors – Mazda MX-5 showed why it’s still the world’s best-selling roadster.”
