Model guide
Sold in Europe, so the paperwork is straightforward. Mid-engined, left-hand drive either way, and cheaper in the States than here even after tax.
Sold here, so the paperwork is the easy part.
A European C8 exists, which usually means a CO₂ figure Austria recognises and a NoVA you can calculate in advance. The case for importing is price rather than availability, so the question is whether the American saving survives duty, VAT and NoVA. Sometimes it does. We will tell you when it does not.
Austria charges NoVA on a car's CO₂ emissions, and it will not accept the American EPA number. The law works down a ladder: a WLTP figure if one exists, otherwise a European NEFZ figure multiplied by 1.27, and failing both a substitute of engine power in kilowatts × 2. That last step is not a formality — on a powerful car it can add tens of thousands of euro, and it is the single largest variable in any American import.
Because this model is sold in Europe, a figure Austria recognises usually exists, and the tax is predictable before you buy.
We will not send you a landed price for a car whose CO₂ basis has not been settled. A number we might have to raise by fifty thousand euro is worse than no number at all. Ask us about a specific car and you get the basis, the calculation and a firm figure within one working day.

Tell us the car and we will establish what Austria will actually charge on it, in writing, before you commit to anything.
