It’s only, so far, to be fitted to any new models ‘type approved‘ for the EU market after July 2022 Is how I understand it. So basically cars not on sale yet, because if something can be bought/ordered today it will already have been type approved before being put on sale.
However, from 2024 ALL new cars sold have to have this nonsense device fitted, even if they were type approved years earlier, ie all cars currently on sale. Buy an MC20 today, or before 2024 and it won’t be fitted, buy one in 2024 and the dealer won’t be able to sell you one unless it has the limiter fitted. So basically it’s 2024 that is the end of being able to buy a new drivers car that you’ll actually want to drive. Sure, it says you can ‘override’ the system by ‘pressing down hard’ on the throttle. How utterly cr@p will the throttle response be with electronics constantly trying to fight your throttle input. Electronic bongs and flashing lights very few seconds no doubt if you are marginally over a limit, anywhere, at any time of day. Followed by reduction of engine power if you fail to drop within the posted limit. Awesome.
