Rolls-Royce sold 6,021 cars in 2022, reporting a record in the company's history and 8% up on 2021.

"This is the first time in the company's 118-year history that its sales have exceeded 6,000 in a single 12‑month period. The value of Bespoke commissions also reached record levels, while demand for all Rolls‑Royce models remains exceptionally strong, with advance orders secured far into 2023," Rolls-Royce informed in a statement.

Especially strong demand for cars of the British luxury brand owned by BMW increased in 2022 in the Middle East, Asia-Pacific, the United States and Europe, the company specified.

"The USA was once again the marque’s largest overall market as a new generation of younger American entrepreneurs, wealth generators and job creators were drawn to Rolls-Royce for the first time," stressed the statement.

Regarding the brand's portfolio, the Cullinan model retained its position as the best-selling model, followed by the Ghost, which was its most popular option in the Asia-Pacific region.
The company says demand for luxury cars will continue into 2023, helped by pre-orders for the Spectre — the company's first electric car.
Rolls-Royce has been selling luxury cars since 1904. In 2022, the cheapest Rolls-Royce cost $311,900.
