Rolls-Royce said sales surged almost 50% to 5,586 cars with records set in most regions including the Americas, Asia-Pacific and Greater China, as well as in multiple countries around the world.
Britain's Rolls-Royce Motor Cars said Monday that it enjoyed record annual sales of its luxury status symbol vehicles, as the broader sector grappled with pandemic fallout including a semiconductor shortage.
The German-owned luxury carmaker said sales surged almost 50 per cent to 5,586 cars with records set in most regions including the Americas, Asia-Pacific and Greater China, as well as in multiple countries around the world.
Demand was powered by its new "Ghost" coupe and 2.6-tonne, 350,000-euro Cullinan SUV.
"2021 was a phenomenal year for Rolls-Royce Motor Cars," said Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Chief Executive Torsten Muller-Otvos in the statement.
