Abu Dhabi was announced as the best-selling dealership for Rolls-Royce Motor Cars for the third consecutive year.
Sales were driven by strong orders for Ghost and Wraith in all regions, while the Phantom remains the company’s pinnacle product globally. In 2015, Rolls-Royce once again sold more cars in the +Euros 200,000 net segment in the Middle East region than any other manufacturer, maintaining a position it has held unchallenged over the last decade.
The Middle East also took pole position in bespoke commissioning. The ability to personalise almost every aspect of their car remains a principal, and growing, attraction for customers. In 2015, they commissioned bespoke elements for their vehicles in record numbers.
In September, the company launched its Dawn, described as a technical and aesthetic tour de force and the first Rolls-Royce model to be launched digitally. The presentation, which was streamed online to more than 4,000 journalists around the globe, saw ‘Rolls-Royce Dawn’ trending at number one on Google worldwide. The order book for Dawn has smashed all previous records: the first customers will take delivery of their cars in the second quarter of 2016.
