 | The A6 is a rare gem, especially in A6G 2000 Zagato trim. It’s desirable. Not just beautiful to look at, the Zagato-designed A6G 2000 also had a successful racing career. This example competed at the Mille Miglia in 1956 and it’s one of only 20 cars ever built. It went through a two-year restoration and won two awards at the 2014 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. |
| The A6G54 was Maserati’s only dual-purpose road/race car made in series production. After the A6GCS became a success on the racetrack, Maserati redesigned the model as a road-going sports car that was more suitable for increased production. The A6GCS racing engine was tuned to provide a better power curve and fitted with a normal wet-sump lubrication system specifically for the A6G54 2000. The twin-spark cylinder head with its 12 wire distributor was offered only as an option. It raised the ante to 190 horsepower. |  |

 | The A6G/2000 was catapulted onto a bigger stage when it was used by Maserati as a practice car for the Mille Miglia. It was tested by several drivers including the legendary pair of Sir Stirling Moss and Denis Jenkinson. |  |
