Looks like the record is 17 people
In 2017 Toyota got 41 people in a RAV4

What’s the record for elephants in a VW?
Yeah, looks like it drops the rest of the URL.
I scrolled and scrolled and scrolled, and found no cramming-people-in-a-Volkswagen. What I did see made me want to gouge my eyeballs out with a sharp stick.
If folks want to entertain themselves by piling inside a Volkswagen, I sure hope they are wearing masks. Because they aren’t practicing social distancing!

I wonder how many people you can get in a VW with all at least 6’ apart?
19? Sorry, but the old record still stands at 20:
Six. Two in front, three in the rear, and one in the glove box.
What about the trunk?
The record I tried to link to was from 2009. Your link is from 2010 and beat it. But for some reason I found an older record for 25 people from 2000. It’s from Australia so maybe they can pack more in when gravity is pulling them towards the roof. I wonder how many my xB would hold?
Oops. Just noticed the 25 people were in a new beetle.
Which one? Each elephant has his own.
Remember full sized telephone booths? A friend learned that 14 teenagers can cram themselves into one of them.
Probably shouldn’t have done that in a free standing telephone booth, they were much more tippy and glass was much more breakable in the early 70’s.
Although not a record, it reminds me of the time that I saw four members of the Overbook HS (Philadelphia) basketball team get out of a VW bug. One of them was Wilt Chamberlain. To be honest I don’t know they were all basketball players, but that were all at least 6’6" and Wilt (whom I did recognize) was over 7’.
Damn. I remember ads for VWs in the 60s in which Wilt was shown being unable to get into a Beetle.
I don’t remember which tall basketball player it was who drove a VW bug. He had the front seat removed, and sat in the back seat to drive!

I drove nonstop from Boston to Miami with 3 other guys in a VW bug. That’s gotta count for something.
