Whats the deal with the MG Zs180 and its 177bhp engine then

No idea. Unfortunately I don't have immediate access to all the old MG technical data to see whether that's a marketing adjustment or otherwise. However, marketing adjustment from 177 to 180 is infinitely more likely than with the 172 and 182
