The cost of living is squeezing UK households but some have not felt the sting as luxury car marker Rolls-Royce has reported a record year for sales.
Rolls-Royce Motor Cars reported a record 6,021 sales in 2022, an 8% increase on 2021’s record of 5,586, and the first time in its 118-year history that annual sales have exceeded 6,000.
Records were set in several key markets, including the UK and Germany.
The value of bespoke commissions — from customers seeking to customise their new car — also reached record levels in 2022.
Torsten Müller-Ötvös, CEO of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, revealed clients are making ever more imaginative and technically demanding requests.
“The unrivalled bespoke creativity and quality achieved by our team here in Goodwood means that on average, our clients are now happy to pay around half a million euros (£440,000) for their unique motor car,” he said.
A “single-digit” drop in sales was recorded in Greater China — which includes mainland China and areas such as Hong Kong — due to “ongoing headwinds” but this was “successfully counterbalanced by increased sales in other markets”, according to the car maker.

Oh good. I ordered 3.
Yeah that’s the ticket.
😜😜😜
Heh, and guess who’s buying them? Those folks pushing bug eating and electric cars on we proles. Always remember where these folks live and their habits - we’re going to need that info. They can have only so much protection.
But are they battery-powered???
I’ll have to ask my chauffeur!!
🤣😃😜

They do have an electric one nowadays.
Of course.
I used to work in a shipyard. Rolls Royce is heavily involved in the marine industry and we frequently had their tech reps in the yard. I always asked them if they could get me a discount on one of their cars. Not one of them thought that was funny, but I always did.
The purpose of the plandemic was to exterminate small businesses and transfer all wealth to the global elite.
It worked!
They have 1 EV. Are the Brits making ICE cars illegal?
They’re kind of “boxy” looking for my tastes. I’ll pass.
Boxey is one word. I was thinking more of tank complete with nearly olive drab colour.
All in due time, my FRiend... all in due time.
I’m waiting for Rolls Royce to come out with a golf cart so I can look snazzy as I zip around a retirement community.
I couldn’t afford one if you gave it to me.
Must be all those lower and middle class people trading in their gas guzzling junkers for those inexpensive, Rolls Royce EVs. This will help them save money on their monthly automobile expenses AND save the planet . . .
~$2.9 billion for building 6000 cars. Not bad.
