Black, Premium, Fast – The MELKUS RS2000 “Black Edition”
With the “Black Edition” the unique MELKUS sports cars now feature a special premium piano lacquer finish - Outfit. Only a total of five cars are being made with this exclusive paintjob in our Dresden MELKUS manufactory.
Applying piano lacquer, a black lacquer finish, is an extremely demanding paintjob.
This paintwork requires six layers with each layer being sanded separately. The elaborate paintwork provides an extraordinary brilliant deep black finish and a very smooth surface. The exterior is rounded off with a carbon Sport – Bodykit. In a word, an elegant suit made to measure for our exclusive MELKUS RS2000 sports car.
The interior also features a black finish. Black full-grain leather furnishing and an Alcantara interior roof lining as well as numerous piano lacquer and carbon applications are a perfect match to the elegant exterior with the exquisite embroidery alluding to the “Black Edition”.
The “Black Edition” also features more standard equipment. This includes, along with a Carbon – Bodykit, a high-quality infotainment system with a navigation function and a high-performance braking system as well as an improvement in performance. As with all other MELKUS vehicles, the RS2000 “Black Edition” can also be customised further.
Powered by a two-litre turbo-engine with a 6-speed gearbox and 325 HP (239 kW), the MELKUS RS2000 “Black Edition” accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.5 seconds. The car’s top speed equals 270km/h.
The basic price for a MELKUS RS2000 “Black Edition” is 149,900 euro.
