Between 1954 and 1955 , 20 Maserati A6G 2000 Zagato were produced. It is propulsed by a 6 cylindre 1985 cc. Body is made of aluminium.

The red car is 1956 model with twin bublle roof typical of Zagato styling.This car presented at Concorso Villa D Este 2006 is property of David Sydorick (USA). The blue car is a 1955 model presented at Villa d Este by its owner Anton Bilton (GB)

The A6G was one of the earliest Maserati road cars, the first being the A6 1500 from 1946. Production of the A6 slowed with 61 examples leaving the factory before the 2000 version appeared in 1950. Numbers dropped further and the single camshaft engine was rather lacking in power, prompting Maserati to make improvements. While the engine size remained the same, an overhead twin-cam, dual-ignition set-up was used for the A6G/54 (A for Alfieri, 6 for 6-cylinders, G for Ghisa - cast iron block, and 54 for 1954). The power increased to 150 bhp and the car was light enough to reach 200 km/h. Frua, Allemano and Zagato were commissioned to build the bodies. Pinin Farina had stopped collaborating with Maserati in 1952, being " busy " with competitor Ferrari. Sixty examples left the Maserati factory between 1954 and 1957, including four Frua berlinettas and two later coupés with a longer bonnet. Frua also produced limited numbers of different Spider versions.
The Maserati A6G/54 and A6G/2000 were radical sports cars at the time, derived directly from competition, and reserved for committed enthusiasts. They also ensured a successful transition from the race track to the road : 1957 saw the launch of the 3500 GT, the first comfortable Maserati Gran Turismo, which spawned a long line of cars that ensured the marque's success. As such, the A6G 2000 was a model that played a major part in the history of Maserati.
