We told you about London’s new gas-guzzler tax to enter the city – a 25-pound ($48.74) daily charge. Now, in an effort to thwart the mayor’s new charge, Porsche plans to take the issue to court, according to Automotive News.

Andy Goss, Managing Director of Porsche Cars GB, said, “A massive congestion charge increase is quite simply unjust. Thousands of car owners driving a huge range of cars will be hit by a disproportionate tax which is clear will have a very limited effect on CO2 emissions.
