Default 718 Spyder trunk/frunk dimensions

Anyone know the dimensions of the frunk and trunk (as opposed to general capacity)? Trying to figure out what baggage could fit when I get the car. Thanks.

Check the 981 forum. No difference.

Thanks. I found this informative 981 thread but on the GT4. I would assume frunk is the same as Spyder but is the trunk luggage area (minus the shelf in the GT4 due to Spyder roof) same as the Spyder?

Haha, thanks UncleDude. I guess it didn't show up on search cause it says "Fronk and Truck". Hahaha!

We bought a few his/her duffle bags and pack in those. Buying different color bags makes is easy to know who has what bag.

Each one is packed for 3-4 days of clothing. We easily fit 3-4 of them in the frunk of the Spyder along with a small ice chest, so traveling is a breeze. The other advantage is we’re not hauling big suitcases in and out of hotels, only a small duffel bag each.

We store occasional items like different shoes and additional duffel bags for clothes needed later in the trip in the trunk.

We’ve road-tripped a couple times with the Spyder, its perfect to travel this way and everything we need fits easily.

I haven't tried this with my 718, but my 987.2 trunk was great at holding the essentials.

Curious if you placed and removed a full keg in there by yourself. You need a super-human strong back for that. Actually, I think it would be really tough for even a 30-year old Schwarzenegger (I mean the human, not the Terminator). A full keg weighs > 100 lbs. The angle would make it tough even for two people. My guess is that it was an empty keg.

So sorry to bring this back from the dead. I'm looking to fly out to purchase a 718 and was wondering if anyone has had issues putting a full sized checked bag in the trunk? (Large Away bag)

Brining this up for a similar question - anyone figured out "best" luggage combination that maximizes space in the Spyder?
Especially the trunk which is tiny

You can maximize space use my using a few duffel bags, because you can shove it in there and it is compressible.

Or one standard size carry on plus little bags to pack around it.

Just remember the trunk does get a bit warm.

The front trunk should fit 2 standard sized, American carrier sized carry on, aka Porsche's own Rimowa carry-on, or legal carry on sized luggage, not oversized ones. 14"x22"x9"

Or one Porsche's Rimowa square shaped XL suitcases, 74 litre ones, 24"x 15" x 16". This is actually the best suitcase Porsche offers, it fits all 911/Cayman/Bosxsters/918 front trunk. When I do European deliveries I take one of these with me

European/ROW carry-on will be slightly too big to fit 2 up front as they will be slightly too tall.



The rear trunk will be more suitable for duffel bags. You can pack quite a few of them there.

Yup, I used this Rimowa a month ago, for wintersport, on top of the Rimowa fits a small duffelbag 45L/2745 CI, and a helmet (all in the frunk) The back trunk fits a duffelbag of same size easily or a cabin size Rimowa.
