London Mayor Ken Livingstone is planning to raise the congestion charge from just £8.00 a day to £25.00 for a wide range of vehicles from October, and remove the discount for residents, meaning that some people will see their daily charge rise from just 80p a day to £25.00 a day.

The new rules will affect some Porsche models and a wide range of high-performance cars. However, it will also affect many larger family cars, such as larger people carriers, and many SUVs. The changes will affect several hundred models of car in total.

Porsche intends to take legal action in the form of a Judicial Review to stop this. We believe that it sends out the wrong message about London as a place to do business and will make successful people look at other cities to locate. We also believe that the increase is disproportionately large - a huge jump in one go that looks more like a political stunt than considered action. Contrary to claims by the Mayor, it will barely have any impact on the environment. This is yet another tax on London and the motorist.
