Bentley is now targeting 20,000 annual
deliveries by 2020, double its 2013 sales and an expansion of
the brand's original goal of pushing sales to 15,000 models by
2018, the newspaper said, citing the brand's chief executive
Wolfgang Duerheimer.
Bentley made about 11,000 deliveries in 2013 with revenue and
operating profit rising to 1.68 billion euros ($2.1 billion) and
168 million euros respectively. Sales, revenue and profit may
all grow further this year, the CEO said.
The 95 year-old brand is diversifying its model line-up and
plans to decide on a fifth model line by next autumn, Duerheimer
told Reuters in October.
