Porsche Agrees To $80 Million Settlement For Emissions Lawsuit

If the above is in fact the case for a plaintiff, that is how their payment amount will be decided, as it necessitates a change to the car’s Monroney label. However, if an affected car does not fit those qualifications, Porsche will issue a flat $200 payment.

Essentially, what that means is that the worse fuel economy a specific car may get, the higher the payment will be. For example, a Porsche 911 Turbo or Porsche Cayenne Turbo owner will receive higher payment sums than the owner of a Panamera hybrid.

Should Porsche have any funds left of the roughly $80 million it will distribute in settlements, it does not get to keep the money. Instead, Porsche may donate the remaining to any environmental relief effort it sees fit, including greenhouse gas credits.
