Mazda – New World Record

The Guinness book of world records awaits for Mazda to enter, a grand total of six hundred and eighty three Mazda MX-5s joined together to form the longest parade of driving Mazda’s ever. Why? To beat the existing record of course which was four hundred and fifty nine Mazda’s, so in that regard they didn’t just beat it they destroyed the record. Allard Kalff a TV presenter well known in Dutch TV led the charge with the CEO of Mazda Motor Europe as his passenger who went on to receive the official certificate.

The MX-5 also known as the best spelling two seater sports car in the world was a suitable choice of car to pick to break the record, partially due to their immense sales and that last year it underwent a large upgrade to the exterior and interior in order to give it a more sporty and aggressive appearance and basically so Mazda can once again tap into the sales they once had for the soon to be classic MX-5. The new version of the MX-5 boasts a new breaking system which is more controllable and an acceleration that is both smoother and faster.

Could the MX-5 be a classic? According to a recent survey by classic car and motorcycle specialist insurance broker Footman James the prediction due to more than seven percent of classic vehicle owners predict the MX-5 could be a classic icon with the Audi TT and Bugatti Veyron falling just behind. What’s your opinion is the MX-5 good enough and beautiful enough to become a classic car? Whatever happens it’s definitely a record breaker of a car so it can hold its head up in pride.
