Melkus RS1000 was a sports car from Melkus. It was a sleek sports car powered by a tuned mid-mounted Wartburg 3-cylinder 2-stroke engine from the Wartburg 353. Most of the cars used the 992 cc version giving a top speed of 165 km/h, but some of the later cars had the 1200 cc version. The race version of the 992 cc engine fitted with a sports carburettor produced 66 kW and a top speed of 200 km/h. It had gullwing doors. Just over a hundred were made.
In time for the 50 year jubilee a limited series of RS1000 will be made.
