I often purchase vehicles from auctions relying on pictures alone.  I have been looking for a Turbo S for myself.  I know how to determine if the Cayenne is a Turbo or non-Turbo by looking at the 5th digit of the VIN.  Is there a way to determine if a Cayenne is a standard Turbo or Turbo S by looking at the VIN as well?  I was thinking that possibly the Turbo S's were only manufactured at a particular plant, or they may have been dedicated to a certain block of VINs that are grouped together by the last 5 digits.  Buying vehicles relying on pictures alone has become a bit disappointing, as some people will put badges on vehicles that don't belong on there.  I would hate to purchase a Turbo, thinking it is a Turbo S, just because someone put an "S" badge after the "Turbo" badge on the rear hatch.

A Turbo S will have option code "IE8A" as one of its options listed on the build sheet that is located in the rear luggage compartment under the floor mat.

Thank you for your response.  I was aware of the option list, and what they represent, but I am not provided any pictures of that and was wondering if there was a way to determine if the vehicle is a Turbo S exclusively by the VIN.  I doubt there is, but it may be possible.
