Beautiful curvaceous body design flows throughout, giving way to fully functional duct and louver work. The design pulls from the RSK and Spyder racers blended with Maserati and Ferrari styling cues. The Runge RS is available both as Spyder and Coupe configurations. The 2-seat cockpit sports car utilizes a steel tube frame, mid-engine design and 4-cylinder power plant with options over 250HP'. Runge Cars began in a rural Minnesota barn by Christoper Rünge, a former professional snowboarder. The company Christoper Rünge built specialize in producing handcrafted, bespoke automobiles. A lifelong passion for the automobile and more specifically post-WWII German design grew as Christopher owned and modified several Porsche vehicles over the years. In 2011 he embarked upon a new journey, to hand hammer his own aluminum-bodied car. The goal was not to build a replica but capture an era through a simple yet beautiful design. Every Runge vehicle s sheathed in aluminum polished so deeply its surface reflects like a surgeon's tray. Each commission is designed to customer specifications and extremely unique. Executing traditional coachbuilding technique with bodywork that is hand-formed of aluminum over a body buck. The metal is at the end of the process fitted to the "Superleicht" (super light) aluminum tube form. Christopher Rünge is truly continuing the tradition of the handcrafted, bespoke automobiles that we no longer have around as we did back in the day. THE MOTORCAR OFFERED The one-off Runge RS010 offered here, was designed and constructed between 2017 and 2019, and commissioned by the consignor, a Mid-Western collector of sports, racing and special interest automobiles. RS010 features a full steel tube frame and a potent 2.3-liter, 195-horsepower flat-four mid-mounted engine mated to a four-speed "Longbox" transmission, which puts cruising speeds in fourth gear comfortably at 80-plus mph.

The cockpit is even insulated and sound-deadened, with 12-volt electric air conditioning, making the drive very comfortable.
