The Space Varies Widely by Model
Supercars typically do have a trunk, though the space varies widely by model. The engine takes the best space, leaving the luggage to occupy a smaller compartment that doesn’t encroach on the engine area. In the Porsche 911 GT3 for instance, the engine sits at the back, so it has a front luggage compartment measuring about 130 liters. On the other end of the spectrum, something like the Lamborghini Urus S - a full-blown SUV - has a trunk with a whopping 616 liters of space. So, yes, you can pack, but you’ve got to pack smart. Just remember to know your car beforehand, and you’ll be good to go.
Frunk: it’s a front trunk, a cubby up there in the nose of the car with room for at least something. Rear-engine Porsches had Frunks long before Tesla made the word popular. Frunk size varies with the model. Some will barely swallow a soft bag and jacket, while others can stuff in groceries or a weekend’s worth of gear. Bear in mind the frunk is often very deep and has oddly angled bits to work around, so a soft duffel will be much easier to jam in than a hard suitcase.
The Porsche 911 GT3’s frunk, at approximately 130 liters, works out to roughly 4.6 cubic feet. This trunk is positioned at the front of the car due to the engine configuration - the flat-six engine is situated at the very back of the 911. While a bit unusual, this provides some practicality to a vehicle primarily designed for performance.
You’re looking at a strict two-seater - there are no rear seats. Your whole cargo scheme is centered on the frunk. You can squeeze in two soft carry-ons along with a camera bag and a jacket. With the limited trunk space, think weekend trips. Going for a longer stretch? You’d have to leave your hard-shell luggage at home.
Realistically, published cargo figures can vary not just by model, but by model year and trim. It’s safest to confirm the exact car’s specs when you book. For example, a “regular” Porsche 911 Carrera S has a front trunk of 4.8 cubic feet, which is about 136 liters, per Porsche’s U.S. spec sheet.
The Lamborghini Temerario, although a sports car, boasts an impressive 112-liter front compartment that is said to equal the space of two cabin trolley bags. However, a test by Autocar indicates that two suitcases might be a bit of a squeeze in the front. Behind the seats lies a flat deck where a couple of squished duffels can be fitted. The track-focused Lamborghini Huracán STO has a tiny front boot of around 36 liters. In contrast, the older Huracán EVO, still found in some rental fleets, has around 100 liters of storage in the front.
Cars with their engines placed behind the driver still need a spot to put the luggage, so they have a trunk of sorts too. For instance, the McLaren 600LT, with its twin-turbocharged V-8 engine behind the driver, has a front compartment that is about 150 liters. This space is enough for a couple of soft bags. Likewise, the Corvette Z06, which has an engine set behind the passenger compartment, has a small trunk located behind the engine. A Ferrari 458 Italia has space for little more than an overnight bag.
As for convertibles, a new Ferrari Roma Spider holds 255 litres roof up, which is still pretty good; but with the roof folded and the stowed top eating boot, you can get in a couple of soft bags.
SUV-size Hold
If luggage is truly the deal-breaker, the Lamborghini Urus S or the like sounds like your best bet. With 616 liters of space behind the rear seats, or about 1,596 liters with the rear seats folded, it has a real SUV-size hold and can easily take in full-size suitcases and golf bags. The Urus was the first five-door Lamborghini. It is built on the Volkswagen Group’s MLB Evo platform, which it shares with cars such as the Audi Q7, Bentley Bentayga, and Porsche Cayenne. It boasts a twin-turbo V8 engine, with 657 horsepower that allows it to sprint from 0-60 mph in 3.5 seconds.
The Ferrari Purosangue 4-door has 473 liters; you can fold the rear seats for more space. Rolls-Royce’s Cullinan, with its Lounge bench has 560 liters of space with a parcel shelf in place.
Whatever you drive, measure your bag before arriving; American Airlines’ carry-on limit, for example, is 22 x 14 x 9 inches (including wheels and handles). Limit yourself to what you need for the rental period.
Whether or not it has a trunk is not the only question to ask when looking at a supercar. You must also factor in the number of seats. For instance, the Porsche GT3, McLaren 600LT, and Ferrari 458 Italia are strictly two-seaters, which means either a third person or extra baggage means you’ll need a larger SUV-style supercar like the Urus S. If your party is flying in, the frunk is likely not built for four large checked bags. There’s also not a roof rack to fall back on for extra luggage.
