2022 was the best year for Rolls-Royce

At the beginning of the year, each company sums up its business results from the previous year. Some made a small profit, some made a loss, but there are also those that can boast of record sales. One of them is Rolls-Royce, which delivered over 6,000 vehicles worldwide in the past year.

Rolls-Royce Down

Since it was founded in 1904, Rolls-Royce has never achieved a sales result like in 2022, when a total of 6,021 vehicles were delivered. The Middle East, Asia-Pacific and Europe, as well as the United States, recorded the highest sales growth. The United States remained the largest market for the British brand, while the Chinese market has now become the second largest for Rolls-Royce. The Goodwood-based company also achieved record sales in the UK and Germany.

Maybe the number of 6k vehicles sold for the year is low, but if we consider that customers paid an average of $500,000 for their new car, we can say that Rolls-Royce enjoyed the demand and sales results.

When it comes to individual sales, the Cullinan maintained its position as the brand’s best-selling model, followed by the Ghost, which was the best-selling model in the Asia-Pacific region. Rolls-Royce is also proud to say that demand for the Spectre, its first all-electric production model, is currently exceeding its expectations, but there is no detailed information on the number of reservations made so far. The first deliveries of the ultra-luxury EV to customers are scheduled for the fourth quarter of this year.

Also, 2021 was a successful year for Rolls-Royce. That year, the British company sold 5,586 cars.

Rolls-Royce Dawn upgraded by Mansory

We can say that the owners of Rolls-Royce cars have good and refined taste, but there are also those who want to stand out. For them, Mansory prepared the modified Rolls-Royce Dawn as a perfect solution.

The car looks slightly more aggressive, at least if we look at the front, and if Rolls-Royce ever decides to produce a high-performance convertible version, it should look similar. The redesigned bumper, splitter, air intakes and carbon components attract the most attention at first glance. The side of the car has been modified, which includes extended sills and new carbon details. At the rear, there is a small lip spoiler on the trunk lid, a redesigned diffuser and a new bumper.

Inside, the interior is upholstered in orange leather with orange seat belts, as well as Mansory badges and black accents.

When it comes to the powertrain, Mansory has not announced any changes. Rolls-Royce Dawn is powered by a twin-turbocharged 6.6-liter V-12 with 563 hp (414 kW) and 575 lb-ft (1,026 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission. It reaches 60 mph in 4.3 seconds with a top speed of 155 mph (250 kph).

Mansory has not announced the price of the upgrade, but it is known that the base price of the car starts at $360,000.

Rolls-Royce Ghost Black Badge

Rolls-Royce always conquers and forever inspires. Timeless in concept yet thoroughly modern in execution, the Ghost is truly Rolls-Royce at its most graceful and dramatic. A powerful car that tuners always try to make better, like Novitec that prepared a special equipment kit, called Ghost Black Badge.

The Rolls-Royce Ghost Black Badge is equipped with a redesigned front bumper with sports intakes and optional integrated LED lights, sill extensions available for the standard and long-wheelbase versions, a new lip spoiler, exhaust system with or without flap-regulation. There’s also a Spofecom Can-Tronic module for the standard air suspension that lowers the Ghost by 40 mm, and automatically returns to standard height at speeds above 140 km/h.

Under the hood is a 6.6-liter twin-turbo V12 engine with 706 hp (519 kW) and 739 lb-ft (1,002 Nm) of torque. As a reminder, the standard Ghost has 603 hp (450 kW) and 620 lb-ft (841 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission. It reaches 62 mph in 4.3 seconds with an electronically limited top speed of 155 mph (250 km/h). It’s mounted on a set of 22-inch Vossen rims wrapped in 265/35R22 (front) and 295/30R22 (rear) tires.
