Maruti Suzuki, the country\u2019s number one car maker, has set a new Guinness Book of World Record by bringing together 342 Swift cars at a \u2018car parade\u2019 in Gurgaon. The congregation of such a large number of cars of a single brand has never been attempted before in India. Similar \u2018car parades\u2019 were held today simultaneously in Sriperumbudur and Mumbai but the world record was set at Gurgaon. As per the Guinness World Records, the earlier world record for maximum number of cars of a single model was set with 249 cars in New Zealand in October 2005. Maruti Suzuki planned the feat to commemorate the Swift\u2019s fifth birthday celebrations. The Swift was launched on May 25, 2005.<\/p>\n
At Gurgaon\u2019s Leisure Valley Complex, there was a dazzling display of 342 Swift cars. An equally enthusiastic gathering of Swift owners was witnessed at Mumbai\u2019s Bandra-Kurla Complex grounds and at Sriperumbudur Test Tracks, near Chennai. In each of these three cities, hundreds of Swift owners along with their families joined the unadulterated Sunday morning revelry and interacted with fellow car owners. For participants, Maruti Suzuki had several incentives, including free fuel and free service\/accessories coupons for Swift owners. The accompanying families, meanwhile, had a good time at the several interactive games kiosks at the venue. <\/p>\n
Maruti Suzuki Managing Executive Officer (Marketing and Sales) Mayank Pareek said, \u201cIn a short period of five years, the trendy Swift has transformed the Indian car landscape and established itself as a \u2018cult car\u2019 of India. People across age groups and gender rate it as the most stylish and sporty car. Today\u2019s world record is a testimony to the ever-growing popularity of the Swift. The new record is a victory for all the 4.5 lakh Swift owners.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
