Forums search did not produce any results, nor did an internet search ; does anyone know how many cubic feet of space a COUPE s hatchback space has when the rear seats are folded down ? Or better yet, any diagram with the various dimensions of that space with the rear seats down ? I can find all sorts of other cars data, dimensions diagrams, but nothing for the 968 .

Trying to figure out how many dead bodies you can stuff in there? ?

I measured it all out and drew it in Google Sketchup a few years back (I wanted to be sure I could fit my big telescope in the car with all my luggage!) - I worked it out as (approximately) 8.6 cubic feet with the seats up and 13.2 cubic feet (total, 4.6 cubic feet additional) with the seats down, keeping everything below the windscreen. Can't recall how precise I was, but the numbers sound about right (compared to my Beetle which is about 4.5 cubic feet for each compartment and carries about the same amount of luggage, without the telescope). I've attached a .png image file to this post with the dimensions.

It fits two sets of golf clubs, two cases of wine and weekend luggage for two.

From the 1993 Porsche Dealer Fact Book.

 

Porsche states 7.9 cu ft with seats up, 18.1 seats folded.

Interesting, maybe they included the space between the front and rear seats as well to find the extra ≈5 cubic feet with the seats down, I stopped at the lip on the rear seat back when I measured mine.

If I were the marketing guy I would certainly include that space, makes the car look better. Plus it is usable, I'd even include the rear seats below the folded down back seats.


I'd go measure my car to compare but my calculus is a little weak :-)
