Hi,

I noticed on a recent trawl through AutoTrader that some of the newer AMG models seem to be listed as having emissions lower than 225 g/km co2 and would therefore only fall within the second highest tax band in Ireland. For example the most recent SLK 55 AMG apparently gets 195g/km and the S65 AMG somehow gets 197g/km from a 6 litre V12. These figures are quoted from AutoTrader but I presume they are based on official figures.

I had always resigned myself to the fact that if I wanted a big engine (>3 litre) car and wanted to avoid the highest tax band I was stuck with getting something pre-2008, but this would change things...

Is anyone aware of any other post-2008 cars with big engines that manage to get these sorts of emissions figures?
