Porsche VIN decoder

Enter a Porsche VIN to get its year, model, trim, engine and assembly plant from NHTSA. Porsche VINs start with one of 2 manufacturer codes across 1 country; the first character tells you where it was built (W).

Porsche World Manufacturer Identifiers

The first three characters of every VIN identify the manufacturer. They are registered for passenger car, multipurpose passenger vehicle (mpv).

Source: NHTSA vPIC manufacturer registrations. The model year is the 10th character: see the VIN year chart.

Porsche models and model years

Checking that a decoded year makes sense? These are the Porsche models the EPA has rated since 2000, 6 of them still on sale for 2025 or later. A VIN whose 10th character points to a year outside a model's range is worth a second look.
