    Excuse my ignorance, but exactly what does it mean when a car is described as "eurospec"?

    Different equipment for different countries....

    Normally in USA it's a North American version......even in Europe though, Swiss cars are known to be different....

    Refers to country of origin.....

    Some say that while Europe gets the best ballanced cream of the Exotic crop;) the US and NA market gets specialy moded cars which include power restricted anti smog engines. Special soft springs so the car wallows in the tradition that they are used to on there straight roads. The US cars also include silly orange front lights along with unsightly side marker lights so they know which side to enter the car in:D There are even some older US spec ferraris that have bumpers that are twice the size and stick out in an unsightly manner. I have also heard that the doors and seats are a little wider, for what reason i could not tell you;) But all the above mods are made just for the US market and told that there cars are the original mcoy....and they beleve it:D:D
    Any ways thats what i have heard......but i dont know if i beleve it......well all of it:D:D
