Chichester-based Rolls-Royce Motor Cars reports that its global sales have grown by 33%, resulting in a record half-year; they were up 60% in Europe and almost 40% in the Asia Pacific region.

The company also achieved double-digit growth in the USA and China.

The company continues to experience strong customer demand for its Wraith model, “significant” orders for the recently announced Ghost Series II and good demand for the Phantom family of cars.

CEO Torsten Müller-Ötvös said: “This is an excellent half-year result and demonstrates the continued confidence that our customers have in our company and our fine cars.

The new Wraith has been a stunning success in the super-luxury segment, setting new style and technology benchmarks. It complements the pinnacle performance of the Phantom and the new Ghost Series II — the latter first arriving in markets in autumn this year.

“Rolls-Royce Motor Cars continues to deliver as the world’s foremost super-luxury car manufacturer, and we are on target for another record year in 2014.”
