    This overall number includes record sales in most of the regions, comprising Greater China, the Americas, and Asia-Pacific. As per the company, all models performed well but the growth has been significantly driven by the Ghost.

Together with it, the Cullinan and the brand’s pinnacle model, the Phantom have led Rolls Royce to hit the record.

The latter unfolds magnificent individual examples like the spectacular Phantom Oribe co-created with Hermès, the Phantom Tempus, Black Badge Wraith, and Black Badge Dawn Landspeed Collection cars.
