The original page at this URL was a personal parts-for-sale listing that contained no lasting technical content. Euro (ROW — Rest of World) specification 944 information is covered in the technical specifications page, which includes separate figures for ROW and US-market variants where they differ.
Key differences between Euro and US-market 944s include:
- Higher compression ratios on ROW models due to higher-octane fuel availability
- Different horsepower figures (DIN ratings on ROW vs. SAE on US models)
- Different emissions equipment
- The 1985.5 Euro 944 used by Clark as the car that first sparked his interest — see the project car page for context
For detailed specification comparisons see the Technical Specifications page.
