Rolls-Royce is one of the most well-known, luxury car companies in the world, and much of its notoriety comes from just how expensive the company’s cars are. However, recent reports show that sales of luxury Rolls-Royce cars, which cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, are soaring worldwide.
Rolls-Royce, whose manufacturing is based in Britain, came out and stated that its global sale for the first half of 2014 (which obviously just ended about a week ago) were up 33 percent compared to the first six months of 2013. The largest increase in sales was in Europe, with a growth of over 60 percent, according to the statement released today by Roll-Royce. Sales in the Asia Pacific region were up almost 40 percent as well. Additionally, the Middle East saw a 30 percent increase, and the United States and China both double-digital growths in sales for the luxury car company’s vehicles.
BMW, which owns Rolls-Royce, also had an increase in sales over the first six months of this year. The German company saw its numbers increase by almost seven percent when it came to overall vehicle sales, and BMW car sales themselves were up 10 percent. However. there wasn’t 100% growth for all of BMW. The company saw a drop of over 10 percent when it came to the selling of its Mini vehicles.
Overall, though, between the majority of its own vehicles enjoying sale increases and the enormous growth in sales for Roll-Royce, BMW has to be pretty happy with how 2014 has gone for them so far and must be very excited to see just how much better it can do over the next six months to come.
