About Ferrari
Ferrari is an Italian manufacturer of high-performance mid-engine sports cars and grand tourers. Decode any Ferrari VIN to confirm build details and check for recalls.
Ferrari vehicles are decoded using the NHTSA vPIC public API. Every 17-character Ferrari VIN identifies the country of manufacture (positions 1–3, the World Manufacturer Identifier or WMI), the model, body style and engine (positions 4–8), a check digit (position 9), the model year (position 10), the assembly plant (position 11) and the unique serial number (positions 12–17). Combine a VIN decode with a free recall check before you buy any used Ferrari. For the make-specific breakdown, see the free Ferrari VIN decoder guide.
How to read a Ferrari VIN
A Ferrari VIN is a 17-character code. The first three characters, the WMI (World Manufacturer Identifier) — identify the country and manufacturer. The 10th character encodes the model year (e.g. K = 2019, L = 2020, M = 2021, N = 2022, P = 2023, R = 2024, S = 2025). Enter your VIN in the decoder above and VinSpecs returns the exact Ferrari build sheet in seconds, including engine, transmission, drivetrain, restraints and assembly plant.
