Adrian Hallmark, Chairman and CEO of Bentley Motors, said:

“While Bentley continues to tackle the challenges it faces in the global market, this latest set of financial figures shows strong results in most regions.

“The continued growth in revenue per car supports the options and limited edition models created by Bentley’s in-house coachbuilder Mulliner and the positive customer reception to our increasing range of model derivatives. Furthermore, the launch of the new Bentayga Extended Wheelbase model is expected to further boost sales of Bentley’s luxury SUV.”
