Melkus RS2000

The Melkus RS2000 took about three years to make by renowned East German racecar builder Melkus but don't you think that it's worth the wait? The car is based on an Lotus Elise and has been fitted with an aluminum double-wishbone suspension, which Melkus designed himself. It also wears a glass-fiber reinforced polyester body. Powering it is the 1.8-liter, 16-valve, 4-cylinder Elise boosted to 270 hp connected to a 6-speed transmission. It has a curb weight of 950 kg or 2,090 pounds, allowing the car to go from 0 to 60 mph in 4.9 seconds. The car comes standard with plenty of comforts, certainly far more than what its rivals are offering. Its interiors are highly customizable. The Melkus RS2000 comes with a price tag of €107,000.
