Aluminum Car with Porsche 718 RSK Silhouette Completed in 2,500 Hours

Runge Cars is a company known for its exceptional products, and the Runge RS is no exception. Unlike the powerful American muscle cars we often see, the Runge RS is a smaller and more refined vehicle. Its all-aluminum handmade body is reminiscent of the sleek Dodge Viper, which is also crafted by the company's owner, Chris Runge.

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