Where is the VIN number in Ferrari Portofino (F164)?

This guide covers the VIN (chassis number) locations on the Ferrari Portofino (F164) produced between 2022–2022, including the hidden stamped chassis VIN and the easier-to-check visible tags.

Chassis Number Locations

1) Chassis Stamped VIN (Floor)

• Where to look: Stamped directly into the metal chassis floor in the front right footwell, hidden under the floor mat and beneath a pre-cut rectangular flap in the carpet/foam insulation.
• Access: Medium. Slide the front right seat all the way back, remove the mat, then locate and lift the rectangular carpet/insulation flap to expose bare metal; the VIN is stamped on the cross-member. It’s dark down there and the insulation can feel heavy.
• Note: This stamping is commonly on the right side of the vehicle. On LHD (US/EU) cars that usually means the passenger footwell; on RHD cars it’s the driver footwell. If you don’t find it on the passenger side, check the other front footwell.
• Tip: Because it’s shadowy and the stamp can be low-contrast (often body-colored), use your phone light and scan it directly with the flashlight + OCR tools instead of trying to read it at an awkward angle.

2) Windshield Tag

• Where to look: On the dashboard at the lower corner on the driver’s side, visible from outside through the windshield.
• Access: Low, but reflections/glare can make it hard to read from certain angles.
• Note: Best checked from outside the car; move a step left/right until the glare clears.
• Tip: If the glass glare is fighting you, capture it with your phone in one clean shot to avoid misreading characters like 8/B or 5/S.

3) Steering Column Plate

• Where to look: A metal plate riveted to the steering column, visible when seated in the driver’s seat or looking through the side window.
• Access: Low. You may need to adjust steering wheel position and lighting to see it clearly.
• Note: This is a good cross-check against the chassis-stamped VIN.
• Tip: If you’re craning your neck to read it, use the VIN scanner to grab it without handwriting mistakes.

4) Door Jamb Label

• Where to look: On the driver’s side B-pillar/door jamb—manufacturer label with VIN plus tire/loading info.
• Access: Low. Open the driver door and inspect the label area on the pillar/jamb.
• Note: Labels can be damaged, repainted over, or replaced—always confirm against the stamped chassis VIN.
• Tip: If the print is small or starting to fade, scan the label with your camera to read it accurately.

Common Problems & Troubleshooting

• You can’t find the carpet flap: It blends into the insulation—run your fingers along the footwell carpet for a pre-cut rectangular outline, then pry/lift it up.
• VIN is hard to read once exposed: The stamp may be low-contrast and the area is dark—use a flashlight and change viewing angle to pull shadows off the characters.
• Door sticker VIN doesn’t “feel official”: Stickers can be replaced or damaged; for verification, match it to the stamped chassis VIN and the other VIN points.
