PORSCHE VIN has two main “versions” – for European and American markets. The VIN for the European market is not fully compliant with the standard and positions 4-6 are filled with the letters ZZZ – sellers of used cars like to use it as a reference to a galvanized body 🙂 For US market cars, these positions are coded with the model line, engine type, and installed passive safety systems.

Differences for the American market:
