At the 2012 edition of the Moscow International Motor Show, the Rolls Royce Ghost has been awarded as the best luxury car.

The award was received by Will Gellatly, Manager Sales Operations Europe and South Africa, and was given based on the votes of 150 journalists.

Following a significant growth in Rolls-Royce sales in the last 18 months, Russia has taken an increasing share in the Rolls-Royce global success story. In 2011 Rolls-Royce Motor Cars more than doubled sales in Russia compared with 2010.

The manufacturer of luxury products recently opened a second dealership in Moscow, the city which hosts most billionaire residents globally.
