Porsche cars have always been available in many, many variants (Carrera, cabriolet, targa, turbo, RS, speedster) in a dazzling array of colours and in specifications to match particular geographies (for example, cars intended for warmer climates often have smaller batteries).

With the links above you can now check the meaning of a particular Option Code, match a colour code and determine if any particular Porsche was made specifically for your country.

You can discover the specification, details, driving impressions and more for every road-going Porsche car at PorscheArchive.

A fully researched directory of Porsche Suppliers and Resources is available at PorscheFile (one each for UK, US, Australia and Germany).
