2010 Rolls-Royce Ghost

HI-RES GALLERY: 2010 Rolls-Royce Ghost

Record-level production of Rolls-Royces is currently underway at the Goodwood plant, despite the still-recovering state of the overall global economy. Demand is so high that all of Rolls' models are sold out through "at least September."

So what does record production at Goodwood amount to? Fifteen cars a day, at present, with over 300 built in June. Rolls-Royce on the whole is doing well, too: the company is already on track to double 2009's sales in 2010.

The new Ghost is no doubt partially responsible for the uptick in demand, though the Phantom is selling strong as well. In fact, the Phantom is already sold out through October. A large portion of the new growth is coming--unsurprisingly--from China and the Asia-Pacific region.

For more on the new Ghost, check out our preview story.

    There's no accounting for taste.

    Rolls-Royce sales shouldn't be a surprise. No matter how bad the economy is there are those - "quiet money" - who can still afford the best. The most expensive and beautiful cars ever were built and sold in the depths of the Great Depression - ever see a Dusenberg "Twenty-Grand"? Rolls-Royce has and will always hold clientel. I was at the unveiling of the new Rolls-Royce at BMW North America HQ last year. Until they halved the work force last October I handled all the BMW/MINI/RR dealer receivables and cash applications. It was a great place to work and I miss it terribly - blame Obama's "recovery" economics.
