Commenting on these results, Jan-Henrik Lafrentz, Member of the Board for Finance and IT, said:
“Despite a challenging first half of 2024, our half-year results provide a platform to remain focused on delivering our key strategic initiatives and investment plans, including the transformation of our product portfolio to fully-electric in the years to come.
“We do remain cautious and anticipate continued difficult trading conditions in some key markets, however we are seeing a great deal of optimism for the recently launched Continental GT Speed and expect this to have a significant, positive impact on our order bank numbers later this year and early in 2025 as the car enters global markets.”
The Bentayga SUV (including Bentayga EWB models) remained Bentley’s best-selling model, accounting for 41 per cent of total sales. Continental GT and GTC recorded 34 per cent while the Flying Spur sedan make up the remaining 25 per cent of sales.
The Americas with 1,652 (-20%) deliveries remains the company’s strongest market, followed by ‘Chinese mainland, Hong Kong and Macau’ with 1,311 (-13%) cars and Europe with 1,054 (-21%) units.
