Brussels: The European Union handed down $1 billion in fines to four major German car manufacturers on Thursday, saying they colluded to limit the development and rollout of car emission-control systems.

Daimler, BMW, VW, Audi and Porsche avoided competing on technology to restrict pollution from gasoline and diesel passenger cars, the EU’s executive commission said. Daimler wasn’t fined after it revealed the cartel to the European Commission.

It was the first time the European Commission imposed collusion fines on holding back the use of technical developments, not a more traditional practice like price fixing.

EU antitrust chief Margrethe Vestager said that even though the companies had the technology to cut harmful emissions beyond legal limits, they resisted competition and denied consumers the chance to buy less polluting cars.

“Manufacturers deliberately avoided to compete on cleaning better than what was required by EU emission standards. And they did so despite the relevant technology being available,” Vestager said. That made their practice illegal, she said.

According to Vestager, the companies agreed on the size of onboard tanks containing a urea solution known as AdBlue that is injected into the exhaust stream to limit pollution from diesel engines, and also on the ranges that drivers could be expected to drive before the tank needed refilling. A bigger tank would enable more pollution reduction.

Vestager said cooperation between companies is permissible under EU rules when it leads to efficiency gains, such as the faster introduction of new technologies. “But the dividing line is clear: Companies must not coordinate their behaviour to limit the full potential of any type of technology,” she said.

Volkswagen said the investigation had ended with a finding that several other forms of cooperation under review were not improper under antitrust law.

“The (EU) Commission is breaking new legal ground with this decision, because it is the first time it has prosecuted technical cooperation as an antitrust violation,” the company said in a statement. “It is also imposing fines even though the contents of the talks were never implemented and customers were therefore never harmed.”

Volkswagen said that the tank sizes produced by all the carmakers involved were “two to three times” bigger than discussed in the talks. It said it was considering an appeal to the European Court of Justice.

BMW said that discussions on the AdBlue tanks had “no influence whatsoever on the company’s product decisions.” The company said it was significant that the fine notice found there was no collusion involving earlier allegations of using software to restrict AdBlue dosing.

BMW said it set aside 1.4 billion euros ($AU2.2 billion) based on the commission’s initial accusations but reduced the set-aside in May due to more serious allegations in the case not being substantiated.

The case wasn’t directly linked to the “dieselgate” scandal of the past decade, when Volkswagen admitted that about 11 million diesel vehicles worldwide were fitted with the deceptive software, which reduced nitrogen oxide emissions when the cars were placed on a test machine but allowed higher emissions and improved engine performance during normal driving.

The scandal cost Wolfsburg, Germany-based Volkswagen 30 billion euros ($AU47 billion) in fines and civil settlements and led to the recall of millions of vehicles. The Volkswagen vehicles in the scandal did not use the urea tanks but relied on another pollution reduction technology.

992 gt3 rs

Sport Auto messured 512 PS (due to low air pressure corrected 523 PS and 472 Nm). It has as much downforce as the 991.2 GT3 RS.

family gathering with all sorts of bs stories about being all stock :)

You can add a 1:43.4 on Bilster Berg:

Amazingly, the suspension wasn't even adjusted to the track and the driver admitted a mistake in one corner :D

every year they keep on downgrading here and there, is carlos ghosn their new ceo ? lol

0-60MPH @ 2,87s
1/4 mile 10,85s

@admin you can update the top speed of the GT3 "According to the official factory numbers, the 2022 GT3 can reach a peak velocity of 197 miles per hour (317 kilometers per hour)."

So the new GT3 was tested travelling at 300 km/h for 17 hours. I'd like to see any EV do that lol

Sport auto got their hands on the 992 gt3 and it lapped hockenheim already, i bet 1 million dollars it beat the lambullshit SVJ , wanna take bets ?

My predicted acceleration times:

Car & Driver: [only automatic version]
¼-mile: 10.7-10.9 sec @ 128-131 mph
0-60 mph: 2.7-2.9 sec
0-100 mph: 6.5-6.7 sec
0-120 mph: 8.8-9.0 sec
0-140 mph: 13.1-13.3 sec
0-150 mph: 15.1-15.5 sec
0-160 mph: 19.8-21.3 sec

Motor Trend: [slowest = manual version]
0-60 mph: 2.8-3.2 sec
0-100 mph: 6.8-7.1 sec
¼-mile: 11.0-11.3 sec @ 124-127 mph

I hope my estimates are right when they test the car :)

The sad front fascia is unmistakable

The new Porsche 911 GT3 is rated TV-14-DLSV. It's only a few steps away from entry-level Ferrari/Lamborghini/McLaren models, which are rated on the softer side of TV-MA.

It's not much faster than the previous post-facelift GT3 in terms of straight line performance :(

Removed Tyler's page as this one was added first, and moved pics from it to this page.

As someone who hates the new 911 design, this car actually looks really nice. Also the price is almost cheap for what you get.

I dont understand why they are advertising with the 6:59 laptime.
