Christopher Rünge, a self-described coach builder and automobile designer, began Rünge Cars with the humblest of intentions. A desire in 2010 to have something to rip around in nearby Minnesotan corn fields—a lightweight, aluminum bodied Porsche-Volkwagen mashup, to be exact—quickly evolved into a bona fide business in constructing cars for paying customers. Using post-war metal-shaping techniques, Rünge and his son bend aluminum to the will of their mind’s eyes in a way that’s decidedly low tech by today’s standards but seriously impressive by virtue of it.
