The Runge RS is built on a tube frame chassis with a wheelbase of 83 inches, aiming to capture the essence of late '50s race car design. Chris Runge dedicated an impressive 2,500 hours to meticulously construct this masterpiece. The end result is a captivating sports car that boasts the iconic silhouette of the classic Porsche 718 race car, famously known for its debut at the 1957 24 Hours of Le Mans.
