My 2000 C280 has 204 hp, thought it was 193???

Why is that.....I typed my VIN number into a data base and it gave my cars history and it says I have 204hp. I thought all 2000 C280, V6 Benzes had 193 hp. Can someone explain??

Benzworld has it........I double checked VIN number and it tells you the production number of your car, and the horsepower.

It may be that the database is for european spec vehicles. It is interesting that they don't show the current E-class W211 but show a W210 which according to the year of manufacture is really a W209. It makes me wonder whether the horsepower rating is a mistake or or different spec for different countries.
