Porsche 911 and Cayenne Option Codes: Real Examples by VIN

The same Porsche option can carry different codes on different generations. Here are real examples from 911 and Cayenne records.

Why the codes differ between generations

Older 911s record many options as three-digit numbers, while the 992-generation 911 and the 9YA-generation Cayenne use three-character codes that mix letters and numbers. Sport Chrono Package Plus, for example, is 640 on a 997 or an early 991, QR5 on a later 991, and 8LH on a 992 or a 9YA Cayenne. For the basics, see Porsche option codes explained.

Why the codes matter on a used Porsche

Options such as Sport Chrono, PASM, a sports exhaust or ceramic brakes change what a Porsche is worth, and several of them are hard to confirm from photos. The factory codes show what the car was built with, so you can check the advert against the record.
