I couldn't find much difference, though I wasn't at any fast zone due to arriving late. Asking a friend who arrived earlier and was watching the car at a very fast zone, he told me that mainly its exhaust pipe sounds stronger. To me, the most important is that the car looks faster and more agressive reaching bends as well as steering out of them.
On the other hand, I posted a pair of photos by mistake. I'm not going to delete them now hoping my prestige as photographer stays undamaged, but I post the other two here:

I can't finish these comments without saying that the last time I'd been at the end of Arcos-Portela stage was in the 90's, watching for example Colin & Sainz with Subaru and Juha and Aurioul driving their Toyota. That's really the unforgettable sound and the memories that will last a life time. Many images came into my mind being there, I could feel the past in my skin.
Well, the Group B era, I know, but I didn't live it.S-DV 9032; TO V33681; VLE 756X; IN-NL 67; IN-NZ 9; 704 EXC 75; 294 FPF 75; TO-89095-H; K-AM 5803; K-AM 6983; L 555 BAT; N6 MRE; 206 NDP 75; X20 SRT; S600 WRT; 23 DDM 92; WOB VW 369; SP 1013...
