'''Melkus''' was a marque of single seat [[racing car]]s and [[sport car]]s founded by the race driver [[Heinz Melkus]] in Dresden in East Germany. The company existed between 1959 and 1986. The cars used engines from [[Wartburg|Wartburgs]] and much of the other parts came from Wartburgs and [[Trabant]]s. The racing cars competed in [[Formula III]], [[Formula Junior]] and [[Formula E]].

The only road going car the company produced was the [[Melkus RS 1000]]. It was a sleek sports car powered by a tuned mid-mounted Wartburg 3-cylinder 2-stroke engine. Most of the cars used the 992 cc version, but some of the later cars had the 1200 cc version. It had [[gullwing doors]]. 101 cars were made.

The company stopped making cars in 1986, in the early 1990s Heinz Melkus and his family started running a [[BMW]] dealership in Dresden.
