Every Maserati Ghibli (2017–2022) carries a 17-character VIN that begins with the ZAM WMI. The Ghibli is a gas sedan; this page shows what each character of a Maserati Ghibli VIN means and gives 4 checksum-valid sample VINs you can drop straight into test fixtures. Synthetic — not real: no scraping, no real-owner data. The generator below is pre-filtered to the Ghibli.
Each sample below is built from the real ZAM WMI and the Ghibli's descriptor, so it decodes to a Maserati Ghibli of the right model year:

Worked on the sample ZAM57XSA7HA866960 — a 2017 Maserati Ghibli:
| Position | Section | Value | What it tells you |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1–3 | WMI | ZAM | Marks the VIN as Maserati, built in Italy |
| 4–8 | VDS | 57XSA | Descriptor for the Ghibli — sedan body, gas powertrain |
| 9 | Check digit | 7 | Mod-11 checksum over the other 16 characters |
| 10 | Model year | H | Code H = 2017 |
| 11 | Plant | A | Assembly-plant code |
| 12–17 | Serial | 866960 | Sequential production number |
Positions 1–3 of every Maserati Ghibli VIN read ZAM — the World Manufacturer Identifier that marks the vehicle as Maserati, assembled in Italy (Europe). After the WMI, positions 4–8 (57XSA in our seed) describe the Ghibli itself; see the full 17-digit format.
Position 10 encodes the model year. For the Ghibli, 2017 is code H and 2022 is code N. See the 2022 year code or the check-digit math.

A Maserati Ghibli VIN is 17 characters starting with the ZAM WMI, for example ZAM57XSA7HA866960. Positions 4–8 describe the Ghibli, position 9 is the check digit, position 10 is the model year, and 12–17 are the serial number.
Read it left to right: ZAM is the Maserati WMI, positions 4–8 are the Ghibli descriptor, position 9 verifies the VIN via a mod-11 checksum, position 10 gives the year, position 11 the plant, and 12–17 the serial. Paste any VIN into the decoder to do it automatically.
The Ghibli in our seed uses the ZAM WMI (Italy). Any VIN beginning with ZAM decodes to Maserati.
No. They are synthetically generated but checksum-valid, use the real Maserati ZAM WMI, and carry the Ghibli's descriptor and a valid year code — so a decoder returns a Maserati Ghibli. No real vehicle's VIN is used.
