Record year for Rolls-Royce

Rolls-Royce sold 6032 cars last year. That was more than ever before in the company's 119-year history. The luxury vehicles were exported to over 50 countries. The largest customers are the USA and China. In Europe, where sales also increased, the home country of Great Britain is the market with the highest sales.

The Cullinan is still the most popular model, followed by the Ghost. The Phantom remains at the top of the range. The company has over 2500 employees at its headquarters in Goodwood.

As planned, production of the Wraith (launched in 2013) and Dawn (2015) was discontinued last year. This also marked the end of the V12 coupé era at Rolls-Royce. In return, production of the fully electric Spectre began in the last quarter of last year. However, the first vehicles are not due to be delivered to customers until the fall. (aum)
