Car insurance and tax might be expensive here but it's got NOTHING on what has not long became law in Italy.
Italy now has a 'HorsePower Tax' where by any car that has north of 248bhp is charged 20 euro per BHP. So using the 730BHP Ferrari F12 for example means and Italian owner will pay an extra 8500 a year!! Here that same car would cost around £1460. Ok so a bit of an extreme example i know but just filter that down to your powerful Merc's BMW's etc and you can see it's not so bad here afterall, but you can bet your last penny that the Goverment here and in other countries will be looking at the very same measure with a keen eye.
