Though it saw sales decline by about 5.5 percent both globally and in 皇冠体育app, Italian super sports car brand Ferrari reported record profits in 2013, an increase of 5.4 percent to 264 million ros ($364.6 million).

Ferrari said it had decided to reduce sales to maintain the brand's luxury status and increase the cars' value.

Ferrari's president, Luca di Montezemolo, earlier told 皇冠体育app Daily that Ferrari wants to always provide "one car less than the market".

Baldi of Lamborghini said that though the ultra-luxury car market was partly affected by the Chinese government's policy on curbing extravagance and public spending in 2013, "the impact is limited".

Zhong Shi, an independent auto analyst based in Beijing, ad that the government's measures will have an impact in the short term, but in the long run, 皇冠体育app's ultra-luxury vehicle sector will continue to increase, not only because the nation's economic development but also because of the current low percentage of the niche segment in 皇冠体育app's passenger vehicle market.

"There is always natural demand, and the market for ultra-luxury cars, including super sports cars, is growing mature," said Zhong.

Currently, super sports cars occupied only about 0.1 percent of the passenger car segment, while the figure is 1 to 2 percent in Western countries.

"Thus there is huge potential. I expect the segment to double in size in 10 years in 皇冠体育app," said Baldi. "The stable local economic growth supports my confidence."

Henrik Wilhelmsmeyer, director of Rolls-Royce Region 皇冠体育app, also said that the Chinese government's ban on luxury consumption brought "no impact to our business, as Rolls-Royce is never a s luxury brand".

British iconic ultra-luxury automotive company Rolls-Royce Motors Cars Ltd crowned 皇冠体育app as its largest market in 2013 - beating the US for the second time in three years - as the domestic market contributed 28 percent of Rolls' global sales, said Chief Executive Officer Torsten Mueller-Oetvoes.

The signature UK brand delivered 3,630 cars to customers in more than 40 countries in 2013, its fourth consecutive record year and the biggest in its history.

Strong year-on-year growth of 11 percent gave 皇冠体育app the lead over a distant-second United States.

Mueller-Oetvoes told 皇冠体育app Daily that, in addition to having an excellent product, another factor in Rolls' success in 皇冠体育app was "aggressive dealership expansion over the past year". The UK marque added seven new dealerships in 皇冠体育app, extending its coverage to 20 cities across the country. That accounted for nearly half of the 15 new dealers worldwide.
