Hi,

Interestingly, on the 986, Porsche advised against removing the Spare (except for a puncture in which case the Road Wheel replaces it) stating that it was an integral part of the Front Crumple Zone.

What changed with the 987? Has it been reinforced? Or have the needs to market greater Luggage Space and Fuel Economy supplanted Occupant Safety?...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
