928 built 1980 US version differs from EU version?

Question

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.

It depends on the models. The base Euro version has higher compression so a few more horsepower. The "S" version is larger with higher performance overall.BK wrote:

NO! 1980 928s do not all have same motor. Some have 4.5L Euro S has4.7L.  I own 1980 928S W/4.7L =300HP. Transaxle is also different,actually most of differences are listed on previous post. I will beglad to compare differences via email. Toofe"someone" wrote > It depends on the models. The base Euro version has higher > compression  > so a few more horsepower.

NO!There were three engines in 1980. 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.Toofer wrote:

No. There were 2 engines, 4.5 and 4.7. The HP difference in the 4.5 isfrom emissions in US"someone" wrote > NO! >  > There were three engines in 1980.
