Hello! + RCZ Model question

[LeBadger]

Hi all,

Total newbie question....

I bought a 2013 RCZ a week ago and I have to say initial impressions are, I am delighted with it.

One thing though, it was sold as a GT THP 156 but when I got the V5 back and just checked the online MOT's it says it is a RCZ GT THP 200.
Am I right in thinking that is the 200 HP version instead?
I am not bothered either way as it is fast enough for me whatever it is but I just think it would be nice to know.
So, I was wondering if there is a definitive way to check / confirm what model it is?

Many thanks,

A pic of the engine bay will be a dead giveaway so if you post a pic it can be confirmed. The intercooler pipes run differently

The 200 editions have a brushed Aluminium valve cover plate stamped 200 on the top & parking sensors front & rear plus all leather interior etc

My 156 has front and rear sensors as well as leather interior so not sure that’s a giveaway. Engine cover is different though but plenty of aftermarket options out there

Thank you for the replies.

That is good to know, I'll post a pic of the engine bay once the rain has stopped.
(I am in Scotland so that might be sometime in July)

Again, thanks for the info

As soon as I had opened the bonnet it was pretty obvious...
It had never registered when I bought it and the guy I got it from, who had owned the car for 7 years, sold it as a 156.
