Aluminum Car's Porsche 718 RSK Silhouette Required 2,500 Hours To Complete

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, its all-aluminum handmade body is a standout feature, reminiscent of the sleek and shiny Dodge Viper, which is 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 of this car is to capture the essence of late '50s race car design. Chris dedicated an impressive 2,500 hours to meticulously constructing the Runge RS, and the end result is a visually striking sports car. Its silhouette is reminiscent of the classic Porsche 718 race car, which made its debut at the iconic 1957 24 Hours of Le Mans.
