The company recently launched its latest model in Australia, a two-door, four seater fastback called Wraith, priced from A$645,000. The Rolls-Royce Bespoke programme has been embraced by Australian customers, with dealerships in Melbourne and Sydney among the highest grossing in the region for average bespoke content per car.
Last year, Rolls-Royce delivered 3,575 cars to customers, the highest annual sales in the 109-year history of the marque and representing a third consecutive record year. Sales in the Asia-Pacific region grew 18 percent. The company celebrates its 10th anniversary at Goodwood, England in 2013. The first Phantom was presented to its owner at one minute past midnight on 1 January 2003. During the anniversary year, a major new extension to the Goodwood manufacturing plant has been opened to help the company meet increasing global demand for highly personalised Ghost and Phantom models.
