How much can you load on the 2020 Porsche 718 Cayman GT4?

Cayman has trunks in front of and behind the car

Last time, there was a person who tested how much luggage can be loaded on the new Porsche 911 (992), so I introduced it.

Reference article:How much luggage can be loaded on the new Porsche 911 (992)

As a result at that time, although the Porsche 911 is a sports car, it can carry a considerable amount of luggage! However, in this case, it was also a big point that I was able to use the "rear seat" of 911.

This time, another person was trying out how much luggage can be loaded on the 2020 Porsche 718 Cayman GT4, so I would like to see it.

The 2020 Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 is a two-seater mid-engine

The Porsche 718 Cayman (or Boxster) is a two-seater, or two-seater model, so it doesn't have a backseat.

Therefore, you cannot use the technique of "Isn't it possible to get rid of it by packing luggage in the back seat?"

But yes, this mid-engined 718 Cayman and Boxster have a trunk not only in the front of the car but also in the rear, so in the end, in a sense, "a place where you can load luggage in front of and behind the car" There is. "

The 718 Cayman GT4 is said to have a total of 14.7 cubic feet of trunk space (420 liters as announced by Porsche Japan).

It's about the same size as the trunk space of a mid-sized family sedan.

... However, this "total trunk capacity" is not really a very useful number.

That's right.

Because this is a value that combines the front and rear trunk spaces, there is not that much space at once ^ ^

actually,

• 150 liter front trunk
• 270 liter rear trunk

It is divided into.

The trunk (Frank) on the front is said to be almost the same as the new Porsche 911 992 type, but the published figures are slightly larger for the 718 Cayman GT4.

The front trunk capacity of the Porsche 992 is said to be 132 liters, so the front trunk of the 718 Cayman GT4 is 18 liters larger.

By the way, and there are 6 bags prepared for this luggage test, the contents are as follows:

1. Mid-sized suitcase (26 inches x 16 inches x 11 inches → about 66 cm x 40 cm x 28 cm)
2. Mid-size suitcase (26 inches x 16 inches x 11 inches → about 66 cm x 40 cm x 28 cm) * Two of the same size as No. 1
3. A suitcase that can be carried on board (24 inches x 15 inches x 10 inches → approx. 61 cm x 38 cm x 25.5 cm)
4. A suitcase that can be carried on board (24 inches x 15 inches x 10 inches → about 61 cm x 38 cm x 25.5 cm) * Two of the same size as No. 3
5. A slightly smaller carry-on bag (23 inches x 15 inches x 10 inches → approx. 58 cm x 38 cm x 25.5 cm)
6. A little fashionable overnight bag for my wife (21 inches x 12 inches x 12 inches → about 53 cm x 30.5 cm x 30.5 cm)

At the end, I'm thinking that I don't have to write "my wife's" ...

Well, first of all, here is the place where I put a suitcase in the front trunk.

The blue one that fits perfectly is the carry-on size that corresponds to ⑤ in the bag list above.

If you look closely, you can see that there is one mid-sized suitcase ① under this blue suitcase ⑤.

Oh, that's amazing. Two suitcases are in the front trunk with ⑤ on top of ①.

It is said that the suitcase that fits in this front trunk is enough to pack enough luggage for two people to stay on the weekend. It may be enough.

And there is also a trunk at the rear.

However, as you can see, the shape of the "trunk" has changed so much that even if it is said that the capacity of this rear trunk is 270 liters, the entire 270 liter space can be used up cleanly. Is it quite difficult?

Actually, even if I put in a luggage, it was written that it was easier to use for the front trunk because it did not fit so big.

The rear seating area of the Porsche 911 (992) is said to be 9.2 cubic feet (about 260 liters) in total, which is "numerically" smaller than the 270 liters of the Cayman's rear trunk, but due to its shape, the 911's The rear seating area could accommodate three luggage.

However, in the case of the 718 Cayman GT4, this rear trunk already has one suitcase of ③ carry-on size and ⑥'s wife's bag, and it looks like this.

It seems that the wife's bag is already crushed by the engine and rear glass (laughs).

Thanks to the metal guardrail attached to the rear to strengthen the chassis, even if you put the bag where you put this wife's bag, it will prevent them from flying into the car. That is above all ^^

* In the case of Boxster, the roof is stored in the rear part, so the rear space shape is different from Cayman, just in case. This time about 718 Cayman GT4.

After all, it seems that one of the first six bags prepared, one mid-sized suitcase (②) and one of the carry-ons (④) could not be loaded (passenger seat space is not used). case).

By the way, the rest is a certain storage part at the rear of the 718 Cayman GT4.

There are small storage compartments on both sides of the rear part.

It's in a position where it's difficult to reach from the trunk side with the back of the car open, and the space inside where you can put things is not that big.

It says that the capacity is about the size of an American milk pack, so I think you're talking about about 2 liters (milk carton → maybe a half-gallon size milk pack).

Escape from the 718 Cayman GT4 trunk

And finally, one more thing about this.

I didn't know there was such a thing! Yes, Cayman's front trunk is "an escape pull to open from the inside".

Whaaaaaaaat.

Yes, this is obliged by the government to emit light in the dark.

It feels like American specifications, but that's not the case, right? It's on every 718 Cayman GT4 ... right? !!

Here it is. I don't think there was such a thing in 911 Carrera ... ↓

I hope that the day when I'm pushed into Cayman's trunk, looking for this glowing escape pull in total darkness, opening the rear from the inside and escaping on my own ... will never come (laughs).

... No, but if you happen to have that kind of experience, remember that there's this faintly glowing escape handle here, and do your best without giving up hope (what? )!

Anyway, although the 718 Cayman GT4 is also a sports car, it seems that it can carry a considerable amount of luggage.

As expected Porsche.

Easy to use. And you can escape from the trunk ^^!

Finally, check out the exhaust sound of the 2020 Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 ~ ^^ 2:46.
