Bentley said it sold more than ever in its 101-year history despite a seven-week closure of its factory in England during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The all-new Bentayga go-anywhere SUV was still Bentley’s biggest selling single model, accounting for 37 per cent of total sales.
The Continental GT (24 per cent) and GT Convertible (15 per cent) together accounted for 39 per-cent of total sales. It finished the year as Bentley’s number one selling model line.
“Even though we anticipated greater sales before the pandemic struck, when you consider the level of restrictions around the world for the majority of the year, to achieve a record sales performance is a strong measure of our potential.
“As we look to the year ahead we remain cautiously optimistic as much remains uncertain”
