Bentley is the latest automaker to post its 2014 sales results with the British luxury marque also posting a record breaking year in sales.
Last year, Bentley managed to sell 11,020 cars which is a 9 per cent jump over the 10120 units Bentley sold in 2013. Bentley accounts the increase in sales to the launch of cars like the new Bentley Continental GT V8 S, the Flying Spur V8 and GT Speed Coupe and Convertibles.

Discussing the results, Bentley chairman and chief executive Wolfgang Durheimer said, “2014 marked an exceptional year for Bentley, as our record breaking pattern continued. We delivered more cars than ever before, and we now operate in more markets than at any point in our 96 year history, a perfect example of our truly international appeal.
“And this as we embark on a milestone year for the company, in which we are working to deliver the world’s first luxury SUV, and set our sights beyond this and to the future to try and maintain this significant period of success,” he said.
