Nowadays Maserati is positioned as a sporty and luxurious brand just below Ferrari in the Fiat Chrysler Group and well known around the world. The company moved their headquarters to Modena two years after Adolfo Orsi had taken over the brand from the Maserati brothers in 1937. The brothers at first remained in leading positions of the company, but later left and founded OSCA. The development of road sports cars started directly in those new halls. Until that time, Maserati only had a good name for racing vehicles. Orsi wanted to transfer this fame to production cars as quickly as possible in order to earn money. On his behalf, a team working around Ernesto Maserati started developing the new A6 1500, which due to the advent World War 2 only debuted at the Geneva Motor Show in 1947.

The torsion-resistant tubular frame chassis of the Maserati A6 offered the ability to accommodate independent body styles by different coachbuilders. From factory the vehicle came with Coup\u00e9 bodies by Pinin Farina, but there was one copy with a Coup\u00e9 body by Zagato. The additional number in its model name refers to the displacement of the newly developed inline six-cylinder engine, which grew to two liters in 1951 for the evolution model A6G (G for Ghisa, Italian for gray cast iron). In 1954 it was followed by the final stage of this model, the A6G\/54 with two overhead camshafts. While there were a total of 59 production cars and two prototypes of the A6 as well as 59 copies of the late A6G\/54, the A6G remained at just 16 copies – probably also due to many strikes in the Italian steel industry, which also affected the Maserati plant and led to the temporary termination of hundreds of jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n
