The Mazda MX-5 has a loyal following, something that was proven last weekend in Italy. The largest-ever parade of 707 Mazda MX-5s was organized at the Modena Circuit on September 18, winning the official Guinness World Records title.

The parade, organized by Mazda Italy, gathered MX-5 fans and owners from all over Europe, who wanted to be a part of this special day. All four generations of the MX-5 were present in the gathering, stock, or modified, in all different shades and configurations. Mazda didn’t mention it but the parade also marked the debut of the Gorgona Cars NM Concept – a first-gen MX-5 converted into a single-seater speedster with a revised chassis and a powertrain transplant from the fourth-gen model.

A Guinness World Records adjudicator was present at the event, counting the cars as they entered the track. At 6 pm local time, he officially announced the record to the crowd that had gathered next to an array of parked Miatas. Besides the 707-member parade in the Autodromo di Modena, MX-5 enthusiasts that attended the event had the chance to participate in various Mazda activities during the day.

Among the special guests was engineer Nobuhiro Yamamoto who was responsible for the development of the NC and the ND generations. Also present was car enthusiast Elisa Artioli, the granddaughter of former Lotus and Bugatti owner Romano Artioli, who is also a big fan of the Japanese roadster. Speakers shared their MX-5-related stories, discussing what makes it an automotive icon.

The previous record was set in The Netherlands with 683 vehicles back in 2013. Nine years later, organizers in Italy managed to gather an extra 24 MX-5s than ever before, achieving the new record of 707 cars which will be quite difficult to surpass.
