Sales in Spain 2014: analysis segment sports cars and luxury

The closure of 2014 has brought finally a positive development for the automotive industry in Spain. In total were sold last year 855,308 cars in our country, representing a growth of 18.4% over the previous year. Although the figure is positive, does not affect equally to all segments. I'll do a little review, brand by brand, how brands have closed sports cars and luxury.








Are these the fastest growing brands in certain times of economic uncertainty we live? Are they able to remain in Spain's record figures announced by central globally? Who sold more in Spain, Bentley or Rolls-Royce? To all these questions I hope to answer in the following lines with this review market wealthier, automovilísticamente speaking, of our country.
Like I did in 2013, when I analyzed the 2012 data, we'll start in alphabetical order so that nobody gets angry. Thus, Aston Martin is the first brand to jump into the fray, and it does good data, since it seems that the British manufacturer sales are not happening precisely because a good time in our market.
Aston Martin

With only 12 cars registered in 2014, have fallen 52% over the year 2013 they had enrolled 25 units. Evidently there is a niche brand, but it is still far from the data of their closest rivals. Perhaps the little network that has in Spain, with four dealerships spread across Madrid, Barcelona, Marbella and Valencia, not enough to get the elegant British sports calen more between the Spanish society.
Can you too notice the absence of the Aston Martin Cygnet in its range? Because not forget that the Toyota iQ rich in previous years had represented almost 50% of sales of the British in Spain, and this year instead only 3 were enrolled to quedanan in stock at dealerships. Ridiculous.
For models, striking to see that has enrolled an Aston Martin V12 Zagato two Rapide two and two DB9 Vantage. Come on, that the Cygnet is still the "selling" of Aston Martin with those three units we talked about before, many of which are posted at bargain prices at major sites used in our country.
Bentley GT Speed Contiental

Without cross the borders of the British empire, we go to Bentley, although belongs to the Volkswagen Group, is mantendiendo British style and elegance that has always characterized. Bentley data are positive, as they have managed to close 2014 with a growth of 21.7% over 2013. Last year enrolled 28 Bentley in Spain, divided as it is logical in 21 Continental Flying Spur and 7.
Surprisingly this year have to talk about Bugatti in Spain, since it has registered a unit of the Veyron. Now you only have eight Veyron sell worldwide, maybe someone in our country has been encouraged to get one of these cars that are sure in a few years will be worth much more money than it costs new.
From France to Italy had to get to Maranello, Ferrari's headquarters worldwide. The Italian brand has an excellent health in Spain, as evidenced by their numbers. Ferrari in 2014 grew 27.8% in Spain compared to 2013. With a total of 46 cars sold, have significantly improved the level reached in 2013, when they were 36 cars.

Obviously, the Ferrari 458 Italia is the flagship model, which has received a total of 26 units. It follows the Ferrari California T, which has enrolled 10 units, while the fantastic F12 Berlinetta have enrolled six units. Two Ferrari FF for those who have no qualms about moving into a four-seater Ferrari and AWD.
Finally, it is noteworthy that in Spain in 2014 were registered two LaFerrari, and one we saw in Motorpasión few months ago. Certainly good news that at least two units of the 499 that are provided have been manufactured in our country. Maybe we find a someday.
Without moving from Italy, we go to Sant'Agata Bolognese. Lamborghini has chosen Spain as said its CEO and President Stephan Winkelmann during the inauguration of the Lamborghini dealership Madrid. It is therefore not surprising that its sales have grown by 350% over the previous year. But beware, do not think that Lamborghini has become a bestseller in Spain.

The Italian brand has sold three units of the Aventador, Hurricane other three and three Gallardo, who was already on its last legs before the arrival of his successor. Positive data certainly make a good start this new phase of Lamborghini in Spain after a few years in which the brand seemed a little fall into oblivion.
We in Italy to discuss the brand has achieved better figures in this segment in 2014. We talked, as I had advanced, Maserati, which has grown 431% this year compared to 2013. Such dramatic growth is due no doubt the arrival of Maserati Ghibli, the model that has brought the trident brand to a wider audience.
With a total of 115 Ghibli sold in Spain, the success of the midsize sedan is fully corroborated. We could try the diesel version this year, and the truth is that for the price you have, is a clear alternative to models of German premium brands that often surround sales in this segment.

But not only Maserati Ghibli lives in Spain, because they also sold four Gran Cabrio twelve 23 Gran Turismo and Quattroporte, the big sedan that has been strengthened with the arrival of the diesel engine. Thus, it appears that Maserati has found the way to go, and does not look to be abandoned.
McLaren if that does not seem to be in a moment of glory in Spain, since only around 2014 he enrolled one 650S, representing a decline in sales of 66.7% over the previous year. We see no P1 with Spanish tuition, but hopefully some of the nearly 100 that are pending delivery, come to our country.
Porsche grew by 36.2% in Spain
Historically brand has sold more cars in this segment of sports and luxury, has been Porsche, and it seems that this hegemony will change. At least that's what we interpret after learning that the German brand has grown 36.2% in 2014 in our country, a truly positive figure if we consider that in previous years had also grown.

The most sold in Spain remains the Cayenne Porsche 566 units, but remains closely newcomer Macan, which in its first year has managed to win over 560 customers. For units sold, the next in the hierarchy of the house is the Porsche Panamera, which has sold 191 units. Now is when they leave those who say that Porsche is no longer what it was, but let's eye sports, which fortunately are still made and sold in part thanks to the good health of the SUV and sedan Stuttgart.
The Porsche 911 remains the best-selling Porsche in Spain sports. From the have enrolled a total 178 units last year, representing 7.8% growth. The new Boxster does not appear to be malfunctioning, as they have sold 73 units compared to 43 of Cayman.
And we will not say goodbye to Porsche without giving good news. In 2014 have been sold in Spain four Porsche 918 Spyder plug-in hybrid that hyperdeportivo that amazed us for an unforgettable co-driving in Germany.

Remains to anyone would ascos
After reviewing how health has been the leading brands of luxury cars and sports in Spain during 2014, have to talk about those brands that still have residual sales, but which none of us would squeamish. Spyker for instance has sold three cars in Spain in 2014, Rolls-Royce Ghost has sold two and two Wraith and Lotus has sold two cars.
The surprise of this review comes on the heels of Tesla, which has sold 15 units of the Model S in Spain in 2014. Is not averse will not do any of them?
