Isn't that the standard 911 alpine handling pack?
new 911 (992)
There seems to be no definite 'frunk' weight capacity - all I can find is this indication!

We fit a crate of Czech beer in the Cayman's frunk (20 half litre bottles in a plastic crate plus some loose ones) and other shopping.
The luggage (soft duffel bags) go in the trunk.
You do learn how to pack and what type of luggage you use.
I do agree with Col Lamb that practicality is relative. But for sports cars, a 911 or a Cayman are both pretty good at it.

Yep, we rolled like that too for a good few years. Was fine for shorter trips, but needed something bigger for longer family trips. Thought the Macan would be ideal, but soon discovered it's not very big inside either.Scott Cowan wrote: βSun Aug 05, 2018 4:37 pm The issue surrounding space.. well I have to say, the Germans sure know how make a car fit most shapes and sizes. I'm 6ft3, 18 stone.. wife is 5ft7 and we've got two young children and can all comfortably fit in the 911 and can go away for a few days with luggage.. To put it into perspective.. The Macans felt more cramped (less leg room) from behind the wheel with a child seat in place directly behind the drivers seat than in the 911.. With regards to load capacity, having been a long time Lotus owner, you learn how to make the most of any available space and the 911 frunk is deceptively spacious. It all depends on what you consider to be impractical.

Fit this lot into your 911 then

Not trying to justify anything.
Simply stating that the 911 is surprisingly practical for a sports car, as others have confirmed here too. Maybe this is part of the reason why it has lasted so long.
In reality, most people could easily manage with a smaller car than they have. The huge majority of car journeys on UK roads are completed with only one or two people in the car, and with minimal luggage on board.
