Aluminum Car With Porsche 718 RSK Silhouette: A 2,500-Hour Creation

Runge Cars is known for producing exceptional vehicles, and the Runge RS is no exception. Unlike the powerful American muscle cars we often see, the Runge RS is a smaller and more subdued car. However, it still manages to make a statement with its all-aluminum handmade body, reminiscent of the sleek Dodge Viper also crafted by Chris Runge, the owner of the company.

The Runge RS is built on a tube frame chassis with a wheelbase of 83 inches. The aim was to capture the essence of late '50s race car design, and Chris Runge dedicated an impressive 2,500 hours of work to bring this vision to life. The end result is a stunning sports car that turns heads, with a silhouette reminiscent of the iconic Porsche 718 race car that first competed in the 1957 24 Hours of Le Mans.
