More than, 2 versions of Out Run for the price of 1! In Japan the courses other than the start and finishes were in different orders, not only that but a couple of coners are different and thats available from the options for starters. You can also have more cars and less time with the difficulty levels. This baby is going to last ya! The music has been taken off the arcade machine and are now perfect audio tracks on the CD. As an added bonus the end credits can be viewed at 60fps with the game running in the background at twice the speed just to show off what the Saturn can really do. I think its a cheat to get that up..
All the sound, graphics and gameplay are there. The same applys for After Bunner and Space Harrier.
If you haven't played Out Run in a while you may not notice the difference on a 50hz Saturn, but there are small borders top and bottom. With a 60Hz its full speed and full screen.
What I mean about a 60Hz Saturn is that its standard UK version that has been chipped and may have switches on the back (like mine) to allow you to select 50Hz/60Hz and USA/JAP modes so you can play import games aswell.
Check this class Out Run site out and hit the versions page. You will see the Arcade and Saturn versions get the same marks. Link: http://www.geocities.com/out_runbr/
Here's a copy of Sega Ages on ebay so you know what you looking for if you do.

Only available on JAP import I also have for Saturn, arcade perfect Galaxy Force 2 and almost arcade perfect (30fps) Power Drift.
