Lamborghini VIN Decoder

Ferruccio Lamborghini founded the company at Sant’Agata Bolognese in 1963. The Miura, Countach and Diablo defined the supercar, and Audi has owned it since 1998.

Built before 1981?

Can I decode a Lamborghini VIN from before 1981?

Not yet. A Lamborghini built before 1981 used a shorter, manufacturer-specific number rather than the 17-character standard, and our classic decoder does not cover Lamborghini so far. Every VIN searched there is recorded, and the makes people look up most are the ones we add next.

Reading a Lamborghini VIN

What do the first three characters of a Lamborghini VIN mean?

Lamborghini uses ZHW. It shares the Italian Z with Ferrari’s ZFF, which is why checking the second and third characters matters before assuming which Italian exotic a VIN belongs to.
