Honda Amaze drives into the Guinness Book of World Records

Honda Amaze has entered the Guinness Book of World Records with its recently concluded ‘Longest Drive Through Amazing India’, which explored the length and breadth of the country. This drive which covered an impressive 23,800km drive was done by Bunny Punia and Shantonil Nag.

This 55-day journey which commenced from Jodhpur on September 15, 2014 saw the Amaze travel through mountainous terrains, coastlines, flat highways, congested city roads and the interiors of India as part of the ‘Honda Amazingly Indian campaign’.

Speaking on the occasion, Hironori Kanayama, President and CEO, Honda Cars India Ltd, said, “We are happy to announce that Honda Cars India has added yet another milestone to its journey by entering The Guinness World Records for the Longest journey by car in a single country”.

“The drive through various terrains is testimony to the durability, quality and reliability of Honda Amaze. These qualities have found their way into the Indian market and the car has garnered excellent response from the customers,” he further added.

The ‘Longest Drive through Amazing India’ will be followed by a series of ‘webisodes’ on ‘Drive through Amazing India’ which will be hosted by renowned author Chetan Bhagat. In this web series, Chetan Bhagat will be travelling to the unexplored places of India which will be followed by contests, wherein people will be asked to post stories or photos about unexplored places of Amazing India. The short-listed candidates will further get a chance to travel and explore remarkable places of India.

This campaign was initiated to celebrate the success of Honda Amaze in the country and for reaching the one lakh units sales milestone.
