BMW Group records Best September Sales in Its History

BMW i8 Hybrid Sportscar

Just like Mercedes-Benz, BMW's sales hit a record last month with 158,029 BMW branded cars (Mercedes-Benz sold 142,994 units in September) sold worldwide. That makes it the highest selling September in the Bavarian automaker's history. This confirms that the German automakers in general are going pretty well, more than ever. We can only wish them more success but we'd like to say: Moore supercars please!

Mercedes-Benz Records the Best Sales Month in its History.

Mercedes-Benz sold more cars last September than any other month in its whole history. The German automaker sold 142,994 units world wide last month thanks to one of the most complete and most attractive lineups on the market today. While Mercedes-Benz's main market remains Europe, the growing demand in the Asian continent, especially China where 20,375 units were sold, contributed to this huge success.

Talking about a crisis?

Only Six SRT Vipers to be Produced per Day Due to Low Demand...

The SRT Viper is gorgeous, fast, makes a good noise but no body wants to buy it. So far, the production of the 2014 SRT Viper was running at a daily rate of nine units. Unfortunately, due to low demand, the production will be decreased to 6 units per day. I don't think the Viper has anything to do with this. It's everything the fans wanted it to be. But the future doesn't look bright for our well loved V10 powered American sports car. Sad.

Volkswagen still lose €4.6 million on each Veyron they make

Volkswagen reportedly loses a whopping 4,617,500 euros (6,242,860 US Dollars) on each Bugatti Veyron they sell according to this chart made by The Economist

With a price tag of $2 million, the Bugatti Veyron is not a commercial success but it's a living proof of the technological excellency achieved by the German automaker. Volkswagen believes that this is much more important in the long term than the few millions they lose on each Veyron and that's why they keep making it.

Love it or not, the Bugatti Veyron is already a legend.
