By Bennett Oghifo Rolls-Royce Motor Cars has said it delivered the highest-ever first quarter sales results in the marque’s 116-year history in the first three months of 2021. Between 1 January and 31 March, the company delivered 1,380 motor cars to customers, up 62% on the same period in 2020 and surpassing the previous first quarter record set in 2019. Sales growth was seen in all markets, with the strongest in China, US and Asia Pacific. “Rolls-Royce Motor Cars made a strong start to 2021, reflected today in our first quarter sales figures, which are the highest in our 116-year history. With robust order books across our product range, particularly for the new Ghost and Cullinan, sales growing in key markets and Bespoke commissions running at record levels, our business is in excellent shape. We have every reason to be optimistic for the remainder of 2021,” said Torsten Müller-Ötvös, Chief Executive Officer, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars
