Bentley has just recorded its second best quarterly financial results to date, driven by strong demand for customisations and an upshift in car production as supply shortages began to ease.
Between January and April, the British luxury marque made £189 million in pre-tax profits, an increase of 27% on the same period last year (£149m). Overall revenue rose 9% to £772m.
Much of this was due to a rise in global car sales, up 10% to 3517 – led by a 39% rise in the Americas (1557) – and the continued demand for the Bentley Bentayga, which accounted for 42% of overall sales (1477).
