London: Luxury carmaker Rolls-Royce is considering producing its first four-wheel drive vehicle.

Chief executive Torsten Mueller-Oetvoes told Sky's Jeff Randall Live programme that if they decide to go ahead with the plan, the new vehicle could be seen in showrooms in the coming four years.

According to Sky News, he said Rolls-Royce is now selling cars in 40 countries. Its biggest markets remain China and the US, but it is also seeing 'remarkable growth' in Japan.

Rolls-Royce has seen a ten-fold increase in sales in the past decade, from 300 cars in 2003 to 3,630 last year, the report added.
