Historic Honda S660 Guinness World Record Set by 832 Cars!
A massive fleet of kei sports cars just made history. In a stunning display of passion, the Honda S660 Guinness World Record was officially set at the legendary Suzuka Circuit. To celebrate the 10th anniversary of this beloved roadster, 832 owners united to create the largest parade of Honda cars ever seen, proving that while production may have ended, the community is stronger than ever.
A Record-Breaking Celebration at Suzuka
Anytime a Guinness World Records title is broken, it is a logistical marvel. But this feat was particularly special because it wasn’t organized by the automaker itself—it was driven by the owners.
To mark a decade since the launch of the Honda S660, a cult-classic two-seater kei car, fans descended on Honda’s home turf in Japan. On November 15, the S660 Chubu Community (a dedicated owners’ club) successfully gathered 832 vehicles at the Suzuka Circuit.
This massive turnout smashed expectations and earned them the official title for the “Largest Honda Car Parade” ever staged. It surpasses the previous record set in 2010, which featured 569 Honda Beats—the spiritual ancestor to the S660.
The Community Behind the Feat
The event was a true labor of love. Organized by the S660 Chubu Community, it brought together enthusiasts from all over Japan. Even more touching was the involvement of Honda employees who originally developed and produced the S660; they joined the club members on the track to celebrate their creation.
As the convoy of 832 micro-sports cars wound its way around the famous F1 track, a Guinness World Records adjudicator was on hand to verify the numbers. Once the final car crossed the line, the record was official: the S660 is now a world record holder.
How Does It Compare?
While 832 cars is a massive number for a single discontinued model, the automotive world has seen some truly staggering gatherings over the years.
- Volkswagen Beetles: The current record for the largest single-model gathering still belongs to the VW Beetle. In May 1995, a whopping 2,728 Beetles gathered in São Paulo, Brazil.
- Subaru: The record for the largest “Single Manufacturer Gathering” is held by Subaru, which brought together 1,751 vehicles at the 2020 Subiefest in the US.
- Supercars: Even the high-end world gets involved. In September 2024, the largest gathering of Supercars and Hypercars took place at the Angkor Wat World Heritage site in Cambodia, featuring 179 multi-million dollar machines.
There is even a record for noise. The “Largest Ensemble of Car Horns” was set in the Philippines by the Ford Everest Club, with 1,077 owners honking in synchronized chaos.
Conclusion
The new Honda S660 Guinness World Record is a testament to the enduring legacy of Honda’s fun, affordable sports cars. The S660 may be out of production, but for the 832 owners who made history at Suzuka, the joy of driving this little machine is very much alive.
It’s a reminder that you don’t need a million-dollar hypercar to make history—sometimes, all you need is a tiny engine, a community of friends, and a very big race track.
