Der Pkw Melkus RS 1000 wurde vom Dresdner Rennfahrer Heinz Melkus auf der Basis des Wartburg 353 als zweisitziges Sportcoupé entwickelt und von 1969 bis 1980 in 101 Exemplaren gebaut. Der Name "RS" steht für Rennsportwagen.

Melkus RS 1000 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 175 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 90 hp for street version and 118 hp for racing version and a top speed of 210 km/h (130 mph). It had gull-wing doors. 101 cars were made between 1969 and 1979 in the Dresden factory.

The chassis was a traditional ladder frame with a roll bar integrated into the windscreen frame and behind the driver. The body was in fibreglass.
