Profits have continued to soar at Jaguar Land Rover – with the firm making £9.3 million a day.

The Tata Motors-owned car giant made pre-tax profits of £842 million in the third quarter.

Car sales in the quarter rose by 27 per cent, to 112,172 vehicles after strong performances from the Jaguar XJ, XF, Range Rover and Range Rover Sport.

It turned over a total of £5.3 billion – putting the firm on course for another record year, on the back of soaring demand from growth markets like China and India.

Jaguar Land Rover chief executive Dr Ralf Speth said: “Our financial performance for this and the preceding quarters is a testament to the quality of Jaguar Land Rover’s award winning product offerings which continue to meet the exacting standards demanded by our customers around the world.”
