TR: U.S. Vs. EURO Specs

Anyone know the difference between 512 TR's in U.S. versus those in Europe ?

 

Get and compare the 512TR OMs from the Owners Site. Did a quick scan, and it isn't much (they all seem to use the F113D040 engine family) --

1. no precats on a standard (euro) version, and

2. consequently, probably a slightly different advance vs RPM vs manifold pressure map for the ignition, and

3. motorized seat belts on the US version -- manual seat belts on the euro.

Might also be some other differences in crash protection -- go to www.eurospares.co.uk and check the coachwork SPC illustrations if interested.

Thnks alot guys ! So would the euro version sound louder ?

 

Nope.

A freind of mine has one, they are the same, though the Euro one, the deck lip is lighter than mine, and the bumpers are hollow

 

And all guages will be in Metric. Speedo, Odometer, Water Temp, Oil Temp, Oil Pressure.

Tyre placard will also be different.

Some Euro spec cars will have door intrusion bars in the later build dates.

3 Point retractable seatbelts with a cassette holder in the centre console.
