The German Environment Minister, Sigmar Gabriel, has said that ALL new cars built from 2012 will have to comply to Europe-wide emissions regulations.
All new cars will have to emit fewer than 120 grams of CO2 per kilometre, which will make life interesting for German performance and luxury car manufacturers.
To give an idea of scale, an Audi A6 2.7 emits 192g/km and a Porsche Cayenne 320 g/km. A Vauxhall Tigra 1.3 CDTI emits the required 120g/km. Oh dear.
none of this in five years
