Differences Between Euro and US F50

US car has larger front bumper and colored turn signals, mouse track seatbelts, different seats, third brake light, turn signals in the side of the body, crush box in rear bumper area, steel bars in the doors. I don't know of any changes to the US engine

 

The USA cars also have a push button tester on the engine, similar to the 355.

Welcome back, by the way.

 

Yes, I think we have missed the most prominent and irreversible difference which cannot be changed between the USA cars and the Eu/ROW cars.

One way you can definitively tell its a USA car is the bodywork's front downforce winglets at the bottom leading edge of the front bumper-spoiler are significantly more pronounced in a USA car.

Check out this side-profile, the USA car in the 1st image, the Eu/ROW car in the 2nd image.

If you have ever seen a USA car and an Eu/ROW car side-by-side (as I have) the difference is stark and better illustrated than images can.

Another demonstration of the point I'm making - USA F50 in the 1st image, Eu/ROW car in the 2nd.

I have no idea why the USA F50s received more prominent downforce winglets, but its a cool and irreversible feature that distinguishes the USA cars.

I think we got the basics.

 

Can be changed, if You buy a new front bumper Has been done on 001/349!



More differences:

- driving lights with level indicator
- different connecting pipe (pre cat?) between manifolds and cat
- different cabin sound insulation (due to seats and seat belts)
- different front hood
- different rear hood
- rear hood fixings with switches (open hood warning light)
- 3rd brake light
- different rear lights
- different light harnesses
- different engine harnesses
- different dashboard harness

 

Sure, anything can be changed, but considering this prominent feature that defines the car's front-end, if you change it then its no longer the type (USA or Eu/ROW) that it was.

Light lenses etc are relatively minor and we often see those changed.
