1954 Porsche Other Description
This advertisement is for the commission of a handcrafted RUNGE Sports car. Using traditional coach building techniques I craft one-off custom vehicles. I build each car from scratch. I fabricate everything from the chassis to the seats and interior and the hand formed aluminum body, completely bespoke to client desires.

[isdntekvideo] I put great attention to every detail and relentlessly pursue producing a one-off, reliable work of art with respect and honor to the craftsman of days gone by. The cars are scratch built, utilizing traditional coachbuilding methods (Hammer formed and English wheeled panels) without the aid of computer or digital assistance.
Shown in this listing is FF007, the Gullwing Flyer. I have taken styling cues reminiscent of the W194 Mercedes, Glockler Porsche racers and done my best to capture an era with my own interpretation of the ultimate 2 seat sports racer.
FF007 weighs in under 1300LBS and features a 1963 period OKRASA Tuned 4 Cylinder air-cooled engine putting out 120HP at 1799CC. It has a 4 speed transmission, front and rear Disc Brakes, fully height adjustable front and rear suspension, Bilstein Sport shocks, custom drilled wheels, full steel roll cage integrated into the aluminum shell, Leather seats and Fender Vintage Guitar Amplifier Tweed I used for the headliner and doors. The interior features aircraft controls to operate the fresh air vents located just aft each front wheel in the fenders.
Runge cars have been featured globally through print, television and web media including FF004 (shown below) receiving Jalopnik's "Best Drives of 2016".
Base roadster "Turnkey" model pricing starts at under $100,000.
