Significance

The Runge RS010 is the definitive expression of Christopher Rünge’s modern coachbuilding philosophy—a single, hand-built sports car that bridges the purity of 1950s design with the craftsmanship of a one-man atelier. Built between 2017 and 2019, the RS010 channels the aerodynamic forms of Porsche’s 550 Spyder and RSK, blended with subtle Maserati and Ferrari cues. Its construction follows traditional “Superleicht” principles: a hand-formed aluminum body over a steel tube frame, every panel shaped by Rünge himself in his Minnesota workshop. While Rünge has created several bespoke commissions since founding his studio, the RS010 remains a one-off, conceived as the ultimate evolution of his design language. Powered by a mid-mounted 2.3-liter flat-four producing 195 horsepower and weighing just 1,350 pounds, it delivers performance that rivals modern exotics while retaining the mechanical tactility of a postwar racer. Its craftsmanship and vision have earned it appearances at The Quail – A Motorsports Gathering and the Monterey Jet Center Party, as well as coverage in The Rake and Bloomberg.

About this vehicle

Commissioned by Ralph Bonanotte, a Chicago collector, then owned by actor and enthusiast John Cena, this RS010 was designed and constructed by Christopher Rünge over a two-year period and completed in 2019. Beneath its polished aluminum skin lies a full steel tube frame supporting a 2,300 cc OHV flat-four fed by twin-choke Weber carburetors, paired to a 4-speed “Longbox” transaxle. The suspension is fully independent with Koni adjustable shocks and vented Porsche 356 B brakes at all corners. Inside, the cockpit reflects Rünge’s aviation inspiration: toggle switches sourced from 1950s aircraft, a MiG-jet clock integrated into the dash, and a “Lusso” leather interior with full sound insulation and 12-volt air conditioning. TecnoMagnesio wheels complete the lightweight specification. Following its debut at Monterey, the RS010 was sold through Bonhams to its current second owner, remaining in exceptionally limited use since completion. It is titled as a 1960 Runge RS Coupe and accompanied by documentation of its build and a bespoke tool kit made to match the car’s aesthetic. With only one example ever constructed, the RS010 stands as Rünge’s singular masterpiece—an unrepeatable fusion of artistry, engineering, and the timeless ideal of analog speed.
