Maserati A6 were a series of grand tourers, racing sports cars and single seaters made by Maserati of Italy between 1947 and 1956. They were named for Alfieri Maserati (one of the Maserati brothers, founders of Maserati) and for their straight-six engine.
The 1.5-litre straight-six was named A6 TR (Testa Riportata for its detachable cylinder head[2]), and was based on the pre-war Maserati 6CM; 65 bhp (48 kW). It first appeared in the A6 Sport or Tipo 6CS/46, a barchetta prototype, developed by Ernesto Maserati and Alberto Massimino. This became the A6 1500 Pininfarina-designed two-door berlinetta, first shown at the 1947 Salon International de l’Auto in Geneva (59 made) and the spider shown at the 1948 Salone dell’automobile di Torino (2 made).
A 2-litre straight-six (120 bhp) was used in the A6 GCS two-seater, «G» denoting Ghisa, cast iron block, and «CS» denoting Corsa & Sports. Also called monofaro, the 580 kg single-seater and cycle-winged racing version first appeared at Modena 1947 by Luigi Villoresi and Alberto Ascari, and won the 1948 Italian Championship by Giovanni Bracco. Fifteen cars were made 1947-1953, of these being two-seaters (630 kg).
lovely mod 🙂
however… if using autoclutch, the clutch does not kick in till around 3,000rpm, this makes it impossible to drive the car at anything under 30mph (say if you just fancied a casual drive in the mountains or something). Perhaps this can be addressed?
I’m in love with this mod. So good to do offline races with it… Not sure if the handling is true to real life, but if it is, this car was fantastic on track, very well “planted”, specially with race tires.
Congrats and thanks for the modders/converters.
