C63 power question.

Hi there, I was browsing around he internet today when I noticed that in reviews of the c63 s and non s, power stats are different to those stated on the car configuration Mercedes site. For example, it claims the s has 510 horses when reviewers say 503 and the non s has 469 HP, but the Mercedes site states 476HP. Are newer cars being given more power? If so when did this start? If not... what could cause this statistical mishap? Any suggestions are greatly appreciate,
Thanks!

510 is the rating in metric horsepower while 503 is the rating in imperial horsepower. 1 metric horsepower = 0.986 imperial horsepower. The car makes the same power but the rating system used varies depending on the country of the review.
