This really applies to new cars registered on or after 2017
These three bands are: zero emissions, standard and premium. A zero-emission car will pay no tax whatsoever (unless it costs more than £40,000) and standard cars will cost £140 from year two. Any car that emits any CO2 at all and costs more than £40,000 will cost £450 from the second year until the sixth year after registration, when it’ll cost £140 per year again.
This means that, from 2017, the only cars that will be free to tax will be all-electric cars that cost less than £40,000. Even owners of low-emission hybrids that are currently free to tax will have to pay.
Remember, these changes won’t apply to your current car – only to new cars registered from April 2017.
VED bands for cars registered on or after 1 April 2017

So if I was to buy my Picanto again in 2017 I would have to pay £140 (105g/km CO2) road tax from then onwards.
Glad the Trans-Am dosn't come into these tax brackets.
