There has been some buzz about this car ever since the rendering came out.
After looking at the above picture, I think you can understand why the buzz is so strong. This car is hot!
So the deal is that Original Runduce came to Varis with a collaboration idea on this upcoming demo car. Since the Varis full bumper (pictured) is offered in two pieces already, this project is relatively simple to produce. The standard Varis aero kit is retained and an original Runduce front diffuser is added to the Varis bumper to create an aggressive new look (reminiscent to the R35 GT-R Amuse front diffuser).
This topic plays nicely into the conversation we were having recently on this blog about the Voltex 3pc prototype bumper for the S2000. The idea of mixing and matching bumper/diffuser options is always a nice thing. In the case of this Original Runduce car they take it a step further by offering two different looks/functions by two different brands that are both designed on the same base bumper design in collaboration. Top Secret and Ings did this same very thing with the G35 Coupe, with Ings+1 producing the full kit and Top Secret making a front bumper designed to go with the Ings+1 kit for those who wanted more sporty design and function.
On another related side note, we’ve been doing the same thing with the R35 GT-R which features a two piece front bumper from the factory. Since bumper replacements like Zele utilize the stock front diffuser (if desired), we’ve done combinations for customers such as the Zele front bumper and the Amuse front diffuser. We’ve even taken that further and added an Esprit front intercooler duct to the Zele bumper with the Amuse diffuser. Mixing and matching can be creatively fun and multi piece bumpers definitely help to make it easier.
Below you can see the Varis Demo car. How about that Runduce car with the Varis twin canards on it!? I think that would look perfect!
