The legal challenge by Porsche against increased Congestion Charge prices in London is being supported by the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea.
Porsche has launched a legal bid to force a judicial review of the proposed increase in the C-Charge to £25 per day for the most heavily polluting cars.
People living in Kensington and Chelsea are already inside the congestion zone but will lose their resident's discounted rate when the new charging system comes into effect in October.
Managing director of Porsche Cars GB, Andy Goss, said: "I am pleased that Kensington and Chelsea has joined us in our fight against this unfair, counter productive tax against motorists.
"It is becoming increasingly clear that Londoners are rejecting this unfair £25 charge that will likely make congestion and the environment worse than it is today."
