Melkus RS 1000 and Melkus RS 2000

East German sportscar icon Melkus RS 1000 and his successor the Melkus RS 2000.

[@agedmc8916]

der RS 1000 war eine Legende im Rennsport und bleibt es für immer

[@guhguh22]

Not gonna lie that rs2000 looks way better than most modern cars

[@youjoker9647]

Looks like a Dino crossed with a Lotus...

[@callimero2010]

Plus Lancia Stratos

[@NoBoost1]

Looks just like a evora

[@koitorob]

No, if anything the Evora looks like a Melkus as the Melkus came first...

[@Blu0tuth0ninja]

Should have been a two stroke. I'm not even a fan of two strokes, but come on. The cool part about the 1000 was the annoying two stroke.

[@cooperp6429]

philip dasaro you can't make 2 stroke cars anymore, because of emission

[@theanarchist2746]

Anoyying 2 stroke? It is one of the only good sounding 2 stroke engines, since it has a 3 cylinder engine. Search for the Suzuki GT 750 3 into 1 exhaust. I don't like 2 stroke, but the Melkus RS1000 and the Suzuki GT 750 are vehicles I love.

[@AbandonEarth911]

Two strokes of all lands unite.

[@rbagel55]

Phillip desaro . The problem with 2 stroke engines is they have a narrow power band, that is a range of engine rpm's which the engine produces peak power. A 4 stroke engine will produce peak Hp from low to high.rpm

[@milesromanus7041]

It should have been, but the European Union of cocksuckers banned two stroke engines for high emissions..

[@mannequinfukr]

Sucks that in 2012 (if i remember right it was 2012), the car making division for melkus went bankrupt

[@mikbe2579]

Ich frage mich, warum Herr Melkus für seine recht guten Sportwagen den primitiven 1000cc Dreizylinder 2-Takter und nicht den 4.3 l V8 aus dem GAZ Regal verwendet hat.

[@FANofFS2004]

Zu schwer und säuft zuviel Sprit.

[@ronnymuller3363]

Weil nur Teile aus dem Osten verwendet werden durften.

[@alexsbikesandmotors]

i thought that pos at the beginning was the Melkus lol

[@Favled]

Alex's Bikes and Motors Trabants are awesome how can you say that?

[@kamilyilmaz6314]

its an Elise!

[@koitorob]

Looks nothing like an Elise, other than both having four wheels and a body! You could compare it to a Saab Sonnet or a Ferrari Dino but an ELISE? No. You should go to Spec Savers!

[@masashiiino6914]

Looks like a mix of lotus elise and tommykaira sports car 😉

[@timhollmann184]

lol

[@centralintelligenceagency9003]

I don't understand how anyone can be nostalgic of the GDR...

[@MsPupsgurke]

Loads of people actually lived there. How can anyone not be nostalgic about their home?

[@centralintelligenceagency9003]

Well if oppression by state and imprisonment for an opinion describes your home, there kind of isn't much to be nostalgic about.

[@solunasunrise]

***** its the good things inside this country to be nostalgic about ... not the whole thing in general
