Bentley on track for record year

09/10/2014

Luxury carmaker Bentley is on track for a record year after delivering 7,786 cars in the first nine months of 2014 – 19% more than during the same period last year.

Bentley’s four key regions, Americas, China, Europe including the UK, and Middle East all saw strong performance, with the Americas retaining its position as Bentley’s number one market, but with China posting strong growth to close the gap.

New models drove this international success, with the Continental GT V8 S coupe and convertible and Flying Spur V8 entering the market.

Kevin Rose, head of sales, marketing and aftersales, said: “Certain markets are tough, as other luxury car brands can testify, but with our three model lines delivering a perfect blend of luxury and performance, alongside the international appeal that we have as a brand, it will ensure 2014 will go down as our best ever year.”
