Car Forum / Porsche / Porsche Cars / February 2007928 built 1980 US version differs from EU version?
Could somebody tell me what the differences are except for the headlights and speedometer in miles? Thanks, bas US has a catalytic convertor, door braces, corner markers, rear bumperettes, bumper shocks. Euro cars have headlight tilt adjustment and side markers. The base Euro model had about ten more horsepower. Then there is the Euro S version with 300 HP instead of 220. It's got the front and rear spoilers and flat dish wheels as well. > Could somebody tell me what the differences are except for the headlights > and speedometer in miles? > > Thanks, > > bas Thanks, So the engine is the same?

The "S" version is larger with higher performance overall. > Thanks, > > So the engine is the same? NO! 1980 928s do not all have same motor. Some have 4.5L Euro S has 4.7L. I own 1980 928S W/4.7L =300HP. Transaxle is also different, actually most of differences are listed on previous post. I will be glad to compare differences via email.

That'd be the US engine, the Euro regular engine and the Euro S engine. Actually more if you count the other per-country variants but those are the main versions. No one in the US recognizes the base Euro car as there was no reason to import them. > NO! 1980 928s do not all have same motor. Some have 4.5L Euro S has > 4.7L. I own 1980 928S W/4.7L =300HP.
