Bentley’s half-year results suggest another record

10/07/2014
Bentley Motors is on track to continue its record breaking pattern with global deliveries up 23% in the first half of the year, to 5,254 cars.

There was strong growth across every region, with gains in China and the Middle East, increasing by 61% and 27% respectively. Global success was driven by new models, such as the Continental GT V8 S coupe and convertible, and Flying Spur and Flying Spur V8.

Bentley’s board representative for sales, marketing and aftersales, Kevin Rose, said: “It’s vital to continuously develop in our exclusive market. There is no question that some markets will remain tough but we are confident of a good 2014.”

The Americas region, remaining in Bentley’s number one market, took 1,388 cars, an 8% jump on 2013.

2013 was a record year, with the highest delivery, turnover and profit figures in the company’s 95-year history.
