Maserati A6G 2000

The Maserati A6G 2000, officially the 2000 Gran Turismo, began to replace the A6 1500 from 1950. The A6 engine was enlarged to 2 litres, 1,954.3 cc, keeping the single overhead camshaft, and with triple carburettors it gave between 90 and 100 hp and a top speed of 160 to 180 km/h. The chassis kept the measurements of the A6 1500, but the rear axle was now sprung on semi-elliptic leaf springs. The model debuted at the 1950 Turin Motor Show with Pinin Farina coachwork, and only sixteen cars were built, all between 1950 and 1951: nine received 2+2 fastback bodies by Pinin Farina, Frua built five convertibles and one coupe, and one received a Vignale coupe body designed by Giovanni Michelotti.
