British luxury motoring legend Bentley has announced record sales – up nearly a third - as it charges ahead with ambitious plans to electrify its entire range of cars. Overall sales increased 31 per cent on its previous record year in 2020 and saw Bentley, which is part of the VW Group, buck the motor industry's decline in sales triggered by a computer chip shortage. Based in Crewe, Bentley celebrated double digit growth in all markets – with record sales figures in the US, China and Asia Pacific regions. In 2020, despite the pandemic, Bentley sold a then record 11,206 luxury vehicles. 'This is our second record sales year in the successive years and is a positive sign of our brand strength, operational excellence, strong global demand and affirmation of our strategic priorities.'
