Default 991 Vin Decoder

Hi everyone.
Would anyone be so kind to help me decode the following 991 VIN:

WP0ZZZ99ZHS100870?

I have looked thoroughly online with no results. I suspect it’s because it’s a Middle East spec’ed car?

I would like to determine from the VIN if it is really a Gulf spec’ed car or a USA / European version.

I would also like to know the options, if possible.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Best regards,

This is all I could come up with when typing the VIN # into the VIN Analytics website: https://vinanalytics.com/unavailable...ZZZ99ZHS100870

Was the year (1987) correct on that link I posted from the VIN Analytics site? If so, it could be that the build sheets aren’t available online for anything that old.

No, it’s a 2017 car. I think build sheets are not available online as I haven’t found any relevant information. Thanks.

FWIW, taking your vin (WP0ZZZ99ZHS100870) and decomposing it with the PCNA decoder ring (attached):

"WP0" - Correct for a "Sports Car".

ZZZ - This looks incorrect? Or I dunno. Digit 4 should be model type, e.g. "A", Digit 5 should be engine type, e.g. "A". Digit 6 should be restraint system, "0" (active) or "2" (passive). For example, my '17 C2 is "AA2".

Digits 7 8 and 12 should be "A", "9" and "1" for a 991. You have "9 9 1", which would be correct if your car is an '81 to '89?

Digit 9 is a check digit, you have "Z". Could be correct.

Digit 10 is model year; you have "H", implying your car is a 2017.

Digit 11 is the production plant, "S" is Stuttgart/Zuffenhausen.

Digit 12 to 17 is your s/n, 100870.

Hope this helps. It may be country code production numbers differ, but this decoder for NA cars is the only one I've seen online.

The VIN decoders online unfortunately really only work for NA destined cars.

My car is a ZZZ, so is my Buddy's, neither of our cars are NA destined cars. It's not incorrect.

Yeah, so I learned "ZZZ" in the vin is correct for "Rest of World" as I believe Porsche refers to it; here's a '19 RS for sale in South Africa: https://finder.porsche.com/za/en-ZA/...reowned-14NLV3, VIN WP0ZZZ99ZKS153101. Learn something new every day.

I didn't find a RoW decoder for the build sheet, so I surmise the vin analytics web site can decode NA cars only...? Anyway, as above, probably best to try and get more info direct from your local dealer, where ever that is.

vinanalytics will not work on a ROW car. Stop by an authorized Porsche dealership and ask service dept to run and print the VIN details

Hi there - VIN Analytics supports international VINs, we just haven’t released all the data yet. I’ve attached a screenshot of our report for you of your car in our new report format (will be released soon for a small cost and will include lots of information). Hope this helps!

Since this is an international VIN, you can get the full build details from here:
