NEDC vs WLTP explained:

Here an industry average of 22% increase in CO2 is expected when testing NEDC cars under the WLTP test cycles. But individual differences have ranged from far lower values to much higher values than that.
199g/km x 1,22 = 242g/km (but in reality this figure could be much higher than 242g/km, or indeed lower. But as the claim CO2 has been reduced it isn't lower than the G8x WLTP numbers).
The G8x Comp has a WLTP CO2 of 230-234g/km while the base (MT) has 235-240g/km.

Ha thanks for pointing that out, i completely missed that, now everything makes more sense to me now... However the country i'm in don't give a shit and tax increase will be on the bigger number regardless of the standard they used for rating them in the first place ... Which is partially why i had to cancel my G80 order ... i mean 23% "import" (registration they say) taxes (add VAT on top of this) and 2400 € per year just for the Co2 taxes... car is around 140k€ not even fully equipped here.
