Description1951 Maserati A6G 2000 Pinin Farina Coupe (2) (15056472891).jpg
In 1937 the Maserati brothers sold the company to the Orsi family but continued to work for the factory until 1947. One of the legacies the Maseratis left was a newly designed straight-6 1.5-liter engine that found its way into Maserati's first Grand Tourer. Dubbed A6, the new Maserati debuted at the 1947 Geneva Motor Show; but with poor performance, a high price and conservative styling, it did not sell well. Three new versions with a new 2-liter engine, the A6G, were introduced at the 1951 Paris Motor Show as a Frua Spyder, a Vignale Coupe and Pinin Farina Berlina. This latter Pinin Farina design, as seen here (chassis AM2020), would become the standard body for the A6G. Again due to its high price, only 16 examples were built.
