We have European delivery of an SRS with LWBS in July. We purchased soft duffel bags to fit the frunk and trunk. However, there is also significant space behind the seats. We currently have a 718 Spyder and a GTS 4.0 with LWBS and in my driving position there is at least 4 inches of depth behind the seat at the top and more at the bottom. For my wife, there is another 4 to 6 inches of depth.

I would like peoples opinions on whether some form of hanging bag would be good or if we should just get additional soft bags to put back there (or some other option). We haven't done any travel greater than a weekend stay with our current 718s, so I would like other's opinions on the matter.

Regards,

In general, the 718 platform has a lot of luggage space (if you pack light-ish). I just finished a 6-week trip in my GT4RS and only ran into some space issues once we needed to consolidate all our souvenirs into a single small suitcase (we delayed the consolidation until day before departure). Given that the Spyder RS trunk cannot be easily opened with the top up, I would recommend putting things behind the seats that you need easy access to and chose the type of bag based on that use case and then put things into the trunk that are not frequently accessed.

That's assuming that you don't need to bring a suit or ball gown .

I've been looking at this too but havent found anything suitable. I normally put a suit bag back there with ironed clothes inside but I have normal seats so it has a hook.

I want to get something which goes over the head rest, like the luggage in a Pagani. Seems a great option but I cant find any for sale so might modify a padded suit bag.

I'm thinking about a couple of these. The shoulder straps unclip, so it seems like they could be fed through the holes in the seat back.

Looks good, some nice colour choices as well. How tall are you? Im about 6’, would that leave any room behind the seat?

I'm about 5'11" and if I push the bucket seat all the way back, I can't reach the pedals. I think I probably have at least 4" of room behind the seat when in my driving position. I need to measure in our existing cars. My wife is 5'2" and there is a lot of room behind her seat.

You got enough space for a bunch of souvenirs

Enjoy!

Very nice, thanks for sharing. What were you able to fit in the frunk? Can you fit two carry ons?

We did the Patagonia 55l soft duffle bags. They are soft with thin material and the 2 fit well along with miscellaneous other stuff. I "think" 2 carry on bags would fit, but we were leery of doing hard cases, particularly with wheels in case they wouldn't fit. I will say it would have been nice to have wheels. We stayed in a number of hotels in old parts of cities and the hotels did not have parking. Even parking in garages 1 block away made hauling luggage a challenge if we wanted to bring in all of our bags.
