How to read a Ferrari 458 Italia VIN — every digit explained
Every Ferrari 458 Italia carries a unique 17-character VIN stamped at the factory. Each position is a code — together they spell out where, when and how your car was built. Here's exactly what every digit means.
- WMI (1–3) — country & manufacturer. Tells you it's a Ferrari and the country it was built in.
- VDS (4–8) — model, body style, engine, trim & restraints. The 8th digit is the engine code.
- Check digit (9) — a math check that proves the VIN is genuine.
- Model year (10) — the year it was built (e.g. R = 2024, S = 2025).
- Plant (11) — which factory assembled this 458 Italia.
- Serial (12–17) — the unique sequential production number.
Model-year code (10th digit)
The 10th character is the model year. It cycles through letters and numbers, skipping I, O, Q, U, Z and 0 to avoid confusion:
Where to find your 458 Italia VIN

Fuel/propulsion System 1 Read
I have a 2012 ferrari 458 italia and the "flapper" on the fuel filler does not close. I've noticed on a couple occasions that after filling and "spirited" driving (corning at legal speeds) i will have fuel on the side of the car. This indicates that the fuel can "slosh" out of the filler neck. I've got a concern that this could ignite causing a fire. I've been able to manipulate the flapper to get it to close, but it sticks open again after the next fuel up. I've attached a picture of the abnormal condition. The flapper is stuck open in the abnormal condition and is the safety concern. I believe the flapper should always return to closed when fuel filler neck is removed from the automobile.
Service Brakes 1 Read
A few occurrences of applying the brake, but the brake pedal barely moves further (hard brake feel) but the car does not slow down. Has occurred going forward at slow speeds. However next brake application is normal. Perhaps issue with brake boost?
