Rolls-Royce Motor Cars has today, Monday announced its second highest ever annual sales result in it's 113-year history. A total of 4,011 cars were delivered to customers last year, a 6% increase on its 2015 sales.
Torsten M??ller-Otv?es, CEO, said, "This remarkable result emphatically affirms the global appeal of the very finest British luxury goods to the world's most discerning patrons. Rolls-Royce is a true Great British manufacturing success story, one driven by the hard work and ingenuity of the men and women employed at our Centre of Luxury Excellence in Goodwood, West Sussex."
Customers come from more than 50 countries including the Americas, Europe and Asia Pacific. A number of individual markets exceeded previous records, notably Japan up 51%, Germany up 30%, China up 23% and the USA up 10%. Rolls-Royce's home market did well too, up 26%.
These results confirm the brand's on-going strength and resilience in a year of challenging market conditions for luxury goods worldwide.
