Where is the VIN number in Ferrari F8 (2021-2021)?

This guide shows you where to find the VIN (chassis number) on the Ferrari F8 (2021-2021), including the quick visible check points and the hidden chassis stamping used for verification.

Chassis Number Locations

Windshield VIN (visible VIN)

• Where to look: Lower corner of the windshield on the left side (driver side on LHD), sitting on the dashboard/cowl near the A-pillar.
• Access: Easy to see from outside, but reflections and glare from the windshield can wash out characters.
• Note: Described on an LHD vehicle.
• Tip: If glare is killing readability, capture it instantly with your phone using ScanVin.app so OCR grabs the VIN before you misread a character.

Door jamb manufacturer label (VIN sticker)

• Where to look: Open the passenger door (LHD) and inspect the door jamb/B-pillar area; the label is shown near the lower hinge/frame section.
• Access: Easy—just open the door; typically high-contrast black text on a white sticker.
• Note: Video shows it on the passenger side on an LHD car.
• Tip: For the fastest, cleanest result, scan the sticker directly with the free VIN reader instead of typing the long string by hand.

Engine compartment VIN label

• Where to look: With the rear engine cover open, look for a white VIN sticker on the chassis structure—shown on a red chassis frame rail (left side in the LHD context).
• Access: Generally easy once the engine cover is lifted.
• Note: Placement can vary—on some F8s the sticker may be on a rear cross-member (traverse bar) instead of the side rail.
• Tip: If the label is slightly faded or the lighting is uneven, use ScanVin.app to scan it with your camera to reduce mistakes and speed up verification.

Steering column / built-date chassis plate

• Where to look: Inside the cabin around the steering column area, where a metal “built date”/ID plate includes the full VIN.
• Access: Moderate—requires leaning into the cabin and working in a darker area; a flashlight helps.
• Note: Shown on an LHD car.
• Tip: Because it’s awkward to read and write down in that position, scan it directly using ScanVin.app to avoid transcription errors.

Window etching (last 7 digits)

• Where to look: Along the bottom edge of the side windows, near the glass manufacturer stamp (e.g., Saint-Gobain Sekurit); usually only the last 7 characters are etched.
• Access: Low difficulty, but you need a close-up and steady focus.
• Note: This is a security cross-check, not the primary VIN plate used for registration.
• Tip: If the etching is tiny, use ScanVin.app to scan the characters up close rather than squinting and guessing.

Floor / chassis stamping (hidden VIN)

• Where to look: Under the front passenger seat area on the floor cross-member (LHD context shown). Lift the pre-cut rectangular carpet flap to reveal the stamped chassis number.
• Access: Hard—requires lifting interior carpet, working in tight space, and it’s dark under the seat.
• Note: Commonly found on the passenger side for LHD vehicles, but check the driver-side footwell if you don’t find it.
• Tip: Since it’s dark and the angle is awkward, use ScanVin.app with your phone’s light and OCR to scan it instead of trying to read upside-down stampings.

Engine block stamping (engine number)

• Where to look: On the bottom of the engine block, accessible from underneath the car through an opening in the undertray/skid plate.
• Access: Severe—typically requires a lift/jack and is not practical for casual checks.
• Note: This is the engine number, not your easiest VIN verification point.
• Tip: If you’re in a shop setting and can safely access it, scan the stamping with ScanVin.app so you don’t miscopy characters while working under the car.

Common Problems & Troubleshooting

• Windshield glare/reflections: Move your viewing angle, shade the glass with your body, and avoid direct sun hitting the VIN plate.
• Hidden floor stamping is hard to read: Lift the carpet flap fully, aim a flashlight across the stamping (side-lighting helps), and clean dust so the digits pop.
• Sticker vs. stamping mismatch: Door/engine bay stickers can be replaced—when verifying identity, always cross-check the visible VIN with the hidden chassis stamping.
