I don't get this.  I've got four Type 44 quattros (2 5K, a 2C20v and a V8), 
all with full-sized spares and flat trunk floors.  So I've got the full 
range of Tors*n applications.  All them have room for a useable full-sized 
wheel under the standard flat trunk floor.  Maybe "sporting" oversized 
wheel and tire combinations result in the need to have a hump in the trunk 
floor?
