After the Covid-19 epidemic, a new era of economic inequality seems to be starting in the world. While the poor people are getting poorer than before, the wealth of the wealthy is increasing manifold. The biggest example of this is the increase in the sale of luxury cars. In 2021, most of the world's luxury car companies recorded record sales. This trend continued in 2022 as well.

While general automobile companies and buyers grappled with expensive loans, rising component costs and supply chain issues, luxury car companies once again set new sales records.

In 2020, this figure was 11,206. Another luxury brand Lamborghini's sales rose 10% last year to 9,233. Porsche sales up 3% and record sales in North America. Rolls-Royce sales rose 8% to 6,021 cars. Customers spend an average of Rs 5 crore per car for Rolls-Royce. Most of them were those who already have Rolls-Royce or any other luxury car.

Jonathan Smoke, chief economist at Cox Automotive, says, “Last year many wealthy people bought luxury cars in cash. This trend is expected to grow more than ever this year. Amidst the volatility in the stock market and economic uncertainties, Dhankuber, who has huge cash reserves, is spending dollars on luxury items. Meanwhile, auto loans have become the costliest in 20 years. This is also a reason for not getting finance.
