Porsche fights C02 charge

Porsche, whose cars are seen as an emblem of wealth and success in London's financial district, is planning a legal challenge to prevent its customers from paying an increased congestion charge in the UK capital.

The German company intends to seek a judicial review aimed at quashing the plan by Ken Livingstone, London's mayor, to impose a £25-a-day ($49, €33) charge for the most polluting cars from October. Porsche said its solicitors were formally writing to the mayor to challenge his decision.
