About VIN numbers:
The Vehicle Identification Number was “officially” described in ISO Standard 3779 in February 1977 and last revised in 1983.
Explanation of VIN
Vehicle identification numbers are standardized – all contain 17 characters. VIN characters may be capital letters A through Z and numbers 1 through 0; however, the letters I, O and Q are never used in order to avoid mistakes of misreading. No signs or spaces are allowed in the VIN.
Each character or digit has a particular purpose as follows:
- 1st Character: The 1st character of your Porsche’s vehicle identification number identifies the country where it was manufactured, in this case ‘W’ for Germany.
- 2nd Character: The 2nd character in your Porsche’s VIN specifies the manufacturer, ‘P’ standing for Porsche.
- 3rd Character: The 3rd character in your Porsche’s vehicle identification number indicates the vehicle type, or manufacturing division.
- 4th – 8th Character: The 4th through 8th characters in your Porsche’s VIN reveals its type, model, series, etc. you will see “ZZZ96” on a 964, and “ZZZ99” on a 993 and 996 etc etc.
- 9th Character: The 9th character in your Porsche’s vehicle identification number is a VIN accuracy check digit, verifying the previous numbers within the VIN. This check digit is a single number or letter “Z” used to verify the accuracy of the vehicle identification number.
- 10th Character: The 10th character in your Porsche’s VIN tells you the model year. See the chart below for specific locations by car make.
- 11th Character: The 11th character in your Porsche’s vehicle identification number reveals the assembly plant for the vehicle, ‘S’ is for Stuttgart.
- 12th – 17th Character: The 12th through the 17th character in your Porsche’s VIN indicate the sequence of the vehicle for production as it rolled off the assembly line. The last four characters are always numeric.

The finished car, just right… beautiful.
