Structure of the Porsche chassis numbers
The structure of the chassis nummer respectively the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) has changed several times in the history of Porsche.
At the beginning it was a simple sequential number.
After that, a system was introduced that made it possible to determine the model and the model year.
Until finally in 1981 the internationally standardized 17-digit vehicle identification number (VIN) was used.
The different combinations are described in more detail below.

In 1969 the chassis number was expanded to 9 digits.
Thus, in addition to the vehicle type, the model year and the model variant, the built-in engine type could also be displayed.
