Marking 140 years of Mercedes-Benz innovation, the Mercedes-Benz Club of Sri Lanka has made history by hosting a record-breaking assembly of 635 vehicles, officially verified by BDO Partners Chartered Accountants. The milestone, achieved at the Mercedes-Benz Pageant 2025, establishes a new world record for the largest gathering of Mercedes-Benz cars in a single location.
This surpasses the previous Guinness-listed record of 479 vehicles, set by Mercedes-Benz Ecuador in Quito on October 16, 2021.
The event took place on February 8, 2026, at the Bandaranaike Memorial International Conference Hall (BMICH) in Colombo. Originally postponed due to natural disasters last year, the Pageant was powered by DIMO, the country’s authorised general distributor for Mercedes-Benz, continuing its longstanding support of the club and its celebrations.
Mercedes-Benz owners from across Sri Lanka came together to honor the brand’s legacy, engineering excellence, and the camaraderie of the local Mercedes-Benz community. The Pageant also celebrated the club’s 35th anniversary, showcasing a stunning mix of classic, young-classic, and modern Mercedes-Benz models under one roof.
Asgi Akbarally, President of the Mercedes-Benz Club of Sri Lanka, said, “We are extremely proud of this achievement. It reflects the passion, dedication, and unity of our members and the wider Mercedes-Benz family in Sri Lanka. The certification by BDO Partners underscores the meticulous planning and execution of the event.”
He added, “Our heartfelt thanks go to all participants, partners, volunteers, and DIMO, whose support made this milestone possible.”
Rajeev Pandithage, Executive Director of DIMO, said, “As the exclusive Mercedes-Benz partner in Sri Lanka for over 85 years, we are proud to support this historic celebration. Mercedes-Benz’s 140 years of innovation have built an unmatched legacy, and this gathering reflects the strength and loyalty of its community here in Sri Lanka.”
Founded in 1990, the Mercedes-Benz Club of Sri Lanka unites enthusiasts and owners nationwide, promoting appreciation for the brand’s heritage, innovation, and community. Through events, exhibitions, and initiatives, the club fosters connection, knowledge-sharing, and admiration for one of the world’s most iconic automotive brands.
