From FNB Stadium to Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit

The record-breaking journey began at FNB Stadium in Johannesburg, where an extraordinary collection of supercars gathered ahead of the convoy.

Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, McLaren, Aston Martin, Maserati and other performance marques filled the surrounding roads as drivers prepared for the journey to Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit.

For drivers, passengers and spectators, the scale of the event was evident long before the final display was formed. Supercars stretched around FNB Stadium before the convoy made its way through Johannesburg towards one of South Africa’s most celebrated motorsport venues.

At Kyalami, the qualifying vehicles were positioned for the official display and verification process.

The final verified count was 243 supercars and hypercars.

That number placed Ferris Hope Foundation NPC as official GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title holders.

A Supercar World Record With a Greater Purpose

The Supercar Rhino Run has always been about more than extraordinary cars.

The annual event brings South Africa’s supercar community together to raise awareness, funds and Fat Free Long Life milk for orphaned rhino calves supported by Rhino Connect NPO.

A single rhino calf undergoing rehabilitation can require up to 20 litres of milk every day. Ongoing support therefore plays an important role in helping organisations care for calves orphaned through poaching.

What began as a relatively small charity convoy has developed into a major South African automotive event capable of placing rhino conservation in front of a much larger audience.

Achieving a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title has taken that opportunity even further.

The spectacle of 243 supercars gathered at Kyalami attracted the attention of automotive enthusiasts, spectators, content creators and media, providing a powerful platform to tell the story of South Africa’s rhinos.

Those who would like to contribute can support Rhino Connect and its conservation work.

From 30 Cars to 243 Record Breakers

The growth of the Supercar Rhino Run makes the achievement particularly significant.

Founded in 2021, the event began with a convoy of just 30 cars. Five years later, that community had grown large enough to achieve an internationally recognised record.

The journey has been supported by drivers who return year after year, new participants joining the cause, volunteers, conservation supporters and corporate partners who help make the event possible.

Ferris Cars has proudly powered the Supercar Rhino Run from its early years, helping bring together a community with a shared appreciation for performance motoring and a desire to support rhino conservation.

The People Behind the 243

A record of this scale requires far more than cars.

At the heart of the Supercar Rhino Run every year is Ferris Cars, whose team drives the planning, coordination and delivery of the event, bringing together the automotive community, partners and conservation cause behind it.

Drivers and passengers committed their time and vehicles. Volunteers and marshals helped manage the convoy across Johannesburg, while counting teams supported the verification process. Photographers, videographers and content creators captured the day for audiences far beyond Kyalami.

Event partners and sponsors provided essential support, with Ferris Hope Foundation and Rhino Connect helping keep the conservation purpose at the centre of the event.

When the official result was announced, the number 243 represented the combined effort of Ferris Cars and the wider community that helped make the record possible.

Celebrating South African Supercar Culture

South Africa has a remarkable community of supercar owners, collectors and performance-car enthusiasts.

The 2026 Supercar Rhino Run provided an opportunity to showcase that community at an unprecedented scale.

Many of the marques represented at the event are also part of the specialist automotive world supported by Ferris Workshop, where sports, luxury, classic and supercars receive specialist servicing, maintenance, diagnostics and restoration.

From modern hybrid supercars and track-focused machines to celebrated classics, the diversity of the 243-car display reflected just how broad South Africa’s performance motoring community has become.

243 Supercars. One Place in the Record Books.

GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title for the largest display of supercars/hypercars

It is an extraordinary milestone for Ferris Hope Foundation NPC, Supercar Rhino Run and everyone who contributed to the day.

For rhino conservation, the achievement creates something equally valuable: greater awareness of the work being done to rescue, rehabilitate and protect vulnerable rhinos across South Africa.

The cars made history.

Their impact can continue well beyond the record-breaking day.

Ferris Workshop Is Now RMI/MIWA Accredited

A new layer of confidence for South Africa’s supercar and luxury vehicle owners

Ferris Workshop is proud to announce that we are now RMI and MIWA accredited for mechanical breakdowns, mechanical repairs, servicing, diagnostics and genuine parts support.

For our clients, this is more than a badge on the wall. It is a sign that your vehicle is being cared for by a workshop that has met recognised industry standards, follows professional processes, and is accountable to a respected automotive body in South Africa.

When you drive an Alfa Romeo, Aston Martin, Audi, Bentley, BMW, Ferrari, Jaguar, Lamborghini, Maserati, McLaren, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Range Rover or Rolls-Royce, ordinary workshop care is not enough. These vehicles are built with precision, performance and heritage in mind. They deserve specialist attention, the right diagnostic equipment, the correct parts and a team that understands the value behind the badge.

What RMI/MIWA accreditation means

RMI stands for the Retail Motor Industry Organisation, while MIWA is the Motor Industry Workshop Association. Together, they represent professional standards within the South African motor repair and service industry.

For a workshop to become accredited, it must meet specific requirements around its premises, tools, diagnostic equipment, administration, health and safety, staffing and service standards. In simple terms, accreditation shows that the workshop has been assessed against recognised industry criteria.

At Ferris Workshop, this supports what we already believe: performance vehicles should be serviced with precision, transparency and care. Whether your vehicle needs a diagnostic scan, a scheduled service, a mechanical repair or genuine replacement parts, you should feel confident about where it is going, who is working on it, and how the work is being managed.

Why this matters for supercar owners

Luxury and performance vehicles are not only transport. They are passion purchases, collectible assets and, in many cases, part of a long-term ownership journey.

A poorly handled repair can affect performance, reliability and value. A rushed diagnosis can miss the real cause of a problem. The wrong part can compromise the way a vehicle feels, responds and performs.

That is why Ferris Workshop takes a measured, specialist approach to every vehicle. Our team uses advanced diagnostics, technical knowledge and Ferris Approved Quality Parts to protect the performance, safety and long-term integrity of your car.

RMI/MIWA accreditation adds further peace of mind. It confirms that Ferris Workshop operates within a recognised industry framework, giving clients added confidence when choosing a workshop for luxury car servicing, supercar repairs and mechanical breakdown support.

Mechanical repairs, not body work

This accreditation applies to mechanical work, not body work or panel beating.

Ferris Workshop assists with mechanical breakdowns, diagnostics, servicing, engine-related repairs, braking systems, steering, suspension, electrical diagnostics, preventative maintenance and genuine parts support.

Where specialist body work is required, Ferris works with reputable partners. However, the RMI/MIWA accreditation announcement is specifically focused on our mechanical workshop capability.

Quality parts protect the drive

In a supercar, every component matters.

Ferris Workshop sources and supplies Ferris Approved Quality Parts for servicing, repair and restoration work. The aim is simple: to keep every vehicle as close as possible to its intended standard of performance, safety and reliability.

This is especially important for performance-critical systems such as brakes, suspension, steering, engine components, sensors and electronic modules. Genuine and manufacturer-approved components help preserve the character of the vehicle while supporting long-term ownership value.

The Ferris standard, now with added assurance

Ferris Workshop was built for owners who expect more from automotive care. More precision. More knowledge. More respect for the vehicle. More communication throughout the process.

Our new RMI/MIWA accreditation strengthens that promise.

It gives supercar and luxury vehicle owners a clear reason to choose Ferris Workshop for professional mechanical servicing and repairs in Fourways, Sandton and the greater Johannesburg area.

For us, the standard remains the same: Passion. Precision. Performance.

Only now, that standard is backed by another layer of recognised industry confidence.
