>ROLLS-ROYCE is finally on a roll, with 1,010 cars sold last year. It is the first time Rolls-Royce Motor Cars surpassed the 1,000 mark. North America remained the biggest single market, accounting for 40 per cent of sales and showing growth of 22 per cent.

Exceptional performances were seen in the United Arab Emirates and in China, which grew by around 70 and 50 per cent respectively. Around June, RR will launch a two-door coupe model based on the Phantom. By 2010, it will unveil a smaller series, currently codenamed RR4.
