What do you mean, hand on the money?
While 2023 was the year of sky-high inflation, Rolls-Royce quietly achieved a new record year. Surprising? No. Rolls-Royce has been running record year after record year for years.
Rolls-Royce is experiencing one record year after another. In 2021, it sold 5,586 cars to wealthy men and women worldwide, almost half more than in 2020. In 2022, Rolls-Royce tightened that record. That year it delivered 6,021 cars worldwide. And 2023? You guessed it: that is also a record year for the brand. The difference with 2022 is not that big, but a record is a record.
Last year, Rolls-Royce delivered – hold on – eleven more cars worldwide than in 2022. This concerns a total of 6,032 units. To put that into perspective: last year Citroën delivered over 200 more cars in the Netherlands alone than Rolls-Royce worldwide. The big difference is that an average Citroën does not cost a few hundred thousand.
In 2023, the Wraith and Dawn went out of production and the British delivered the first copies of the electric Specter to customers. The Cullinan – the brand’s first and so far only SUV – was not surprisingly the Rolls-Royce of which the most copies were delivered. Top sedan Phantom has to tolerate the ‘smaller’ Ghost in second place. The United States was Rolls-Royce’s largest car market, followed by China.
A total of twelve new Rolls-Royces were delivered in the Netherlands in 2023. Four of the Cullinan and Ghost were each registered. The Phantom achieved two registrations and one more copy of the Wraith was delivered. There is also one electric Specter in our country.
