After exactly thirty years since the last of the 101 Melkus RS1000 Models was manufactured in Dresden, Melkus has presented their official follow-up the RS2000. The new light-weight sports car includes race-car technology. It is completely hand made and limited to only 25 vehicles per year.
The medium-sized engine sports coupe has a low power-to-weight ratio of 3.5kg/hp. The key feature of the double-wing doors, opening upwards to the roof, has been re-interpreted.
The RS2000 includes technical features such as a mechanical (supercharger) with charge-air cooling, a race-track-refined sports suspension system and forged light-metal wheel-rims. Driving aids such as anti-lock braking system (ABS) and traction control are, like driver and passenger airbags, standard. Comfort features pack integrated air conditioning, electric windows and rear-view mirror, as well as a boot with 220 litre storage space.
The interior can be personally designed. There is a choice of two-tone leather décor and the variation of sewing pattern.
The standard vehicle price is 107,500 euros. Production starts immediately after the IAA in October 2009.
niet echt heel super, doch een aardig sportwagentje.
de omgekeerde wereld daar.
