The euro-spec car didn't meet emissions so they had to castrate the engine in terms of HP. Then, to try to maintain a 4.0 second 0-60 or less, they changed the gearing. My understanding is that it's not nearly as fast.
The good news is Ferrari learned their lesson their and as technology got better the F50, Enzo, etc. have been designed with California emissions, etc. in mind.
