Does anyone have the specs of the 1979 Euro. www.928s4vr.com didn't differentiate between the Euros and US models.
Thanks

Shark Attack

their was no diff that year in HP, so everyone keeps telling me. I was also told their were no "S" either. however my PO said mine is an "S" and he was the nephew of the original owner who told him it was an "s" euro... so who freaking knows?

Shark Attack,

I have never heard of a pre 80 S. You can start by checking the engine code on the top of the block.

Vilhuer

Euro 4.5L '78-82 and '80+ S have different VIN. Engines can be changed but VIN are mostly left alone so its more accurate way of telling with what engine car left from the factory.

True Euro hp is 240 DIN which is 237 SAE.

SharkSkin

Wasn't there a comp package offered before the S option? IIRC it was just spoilers & maybe suspension.

Pfunde

Mine was too original

Vilhuer

It came little late into '81 MY, September or November '80 IIRR. Way too late for it to be in '79 MY and it wasn't available in ROW markets anyway. First S spoilers were used in summer '79 on true S prototypes.

What you probably have is a 928 with the S apearance package. Do you know if the breaks S ?

Vilhuer

No need to quess what it is, just check VIN.

SMTCapeCod

VIN is for the chassis, check the engine code and then the tech spec book specs.

the 4.5L euro engines were rated at 240hp DIN....or 237 SAE...just like erkka says.....vs the US version with 219 hp....the biggest difference is catalytic convertors

Not to hyjack the thread, but looking at the link above, I found it interesting that on my year(1983) that the 0-60 with an auto trans was the same on both the US and Euro despite a large hp difference. I guess that extra gear in the trans makes the different. I offically don't have Euro envy! Seeing the performance figures together, it seems that the US and Euro difference is not signicant in most cases.
