what is " Puissance fiscale " ?
( i suppose its something similar like here, where every engine 4.0L or bigger pays extra but i just want to be sure )

It is the French version of Horse Power, based on the cylinder diameter and quantity, or now on CO2. I think French horses are a bit stronger than English ones!

FWIW, the French fiscal rating is calculated thus:

Pa = (CO2/45) + (P/40) x 1.6

Ou la puissance fiscale dépend de la valeur normalisée d'émission de dioxyde de carbone (CO2) en grammes/km et de la puissance maximale du moteur en Kw.

So for example, that's:

Power = 121 Kw (= 164.4 CH)
Co2 = 198 g/km

= (198/45) + (164.4/40) x 1.6

= 4.4 + 6.576 = 10.976

So the car is rated 11CV

Yes. Introduced in U.K. on 01/01/1910 for exactly that purpose. If the calculations produced a result of 9.01 hp, it was rounded up to 10, because at that time the road tax was £1 per hp per year. Doesn’t sound a lot now, but for a family car like a 1930s Ford 10, it was approaching 7 or 8% of the purchase price. The effect, since the tax was calculated on the cylinder bore, was to make the industry produce narrow bore long stroke engines that wouldn’t take high revs and wore out their pistons and cylinder bores too quickly. In the 1940s the tax was standardised at £12/10shillings (£12.50) per year for all cars irrespective of engine size. This resulted in the engines of small cars having wider bores and shorter strokes, like the 105E Anglia, the 80mm bore of which, for a 1 litre engine, caused a big stir.

It is also the same cylinder bore as a 3 litre Bentley, meaning that the Anglia engine would have the same 15.9hp tax rating, if it were available in the era when the horsepower tax was in use!

BTW

The annual road tax for my Mercédès last year was £530. The government now grabs its money based on the list price of the car. Over £40k the tax shoots up.
