'''Maserati A6''' were various cars made by [[Maserati]] of Italy, for the Alfieri brothers (founders of [[Maserati]]) and for the [[straight-six]] engine.

The 1.5-litre [[straight-six]] was named ''A6 TR'' (''Testa Riportata''), and was based on the pre-war [[Maserati 6CM]]; 65 bhp. 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 [[convertible|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 racing car, «C» denoting ''Chisa'', cast iron block, and «CS» denoting ''Corsa & Sports''. It first raced at Modena 1947 by Luigi Villoresi and Alberto Ascari, and won the 1948 [[Italian Championship]] by Giovanni Bracco. 16 cars were made 1947-1953.

The '''A6G''' were a series of two-door coupe and spyders by [[Zagato]], [[Pininfarina]], [[Frua]], [[Bertone]] and [[Vignale]]. These had alloy engine blocks.

Maserati '''A6GCM''' were 2-litre [[barchetta]] racing cars (190 bhp), developed by Gioacchino Colombo, winning [[Italian Grand Prix]] by Juan Manuel Fangio.

To compete in the [[World Sportscar Championship]], the '''A6GCS/53''' was developed (170 bhp), [[barchetta]]s bodied by Medardo Fantuzzi and Celestino Fiandri. It won the [[Italian Grand Prix]] in 1953 and 1954 by Sergio Mantovani and Luigi Musso. Four [[berlinetta]]s were designed by [[Pininfarina]], their final design of a [[Maserati]], on a commission by Rome dealer Giuglielmo Dei who had acquired six chassis. 56 were made 1953-55.

The 1954 [[Mondial de l'Automobile]] in Paris showed the '''A6GCS/54''', which came in berlinetta, barchetta and spider versions (150 bhp), with designs by [[Frua]], [[Ghia]] and [[Carrozzeria Allemano]]. 60 were made.

Zagato

[[Image:Zagatologo.jpg|right|300px]]
'''Zagato''' is a modern design consultancy and engineering services company situated just outside Milan, the hub of Italy's world-famous fashion industry.
The company's premises occupy an area of 23,000 square metres, of which 11,000 square metres are covered.

The company was established at the end of the World War I by [[Ugo Zagato]], putting aircraft industry construction techniques to use in the expanding market for [[passenger vehicle]]s. Zagato's cars were advanced in design and became synonymous with light weight and excellent aerodynamics. [[Alfa Romeo]], [[Fiat]] and [[Lancia]] immediately realised the advantages of his rakish, streamlined designs. A collaboration followed which saw the creation of a series of legendary racing cars, such as the [[Alfa Romeo 1500]], then the [[Alfa Romeo 1750 Gran Sport|1750 Gran Sport]], and the [[Alfa Romeo 2300 8C|2300 8C]]. After the World II, Zagato was very much active on this field of GT cars,a new racing category. Avant-garde styling, together with light weight and wind-cheating lines were main features of Zagato's models for the leading sports car manufacturers of that era - [[Maserati]], [[Alfa Romeo]], [[Fiat]], [[Lancia]], [[Abarth]], [[Ferrari]], and [[Aston Martin]]. In addition to the cars that were produced officially in small series, the company also built exclusive one-offs and prototypes for other illustrious marques, such as [[Ford Motor Company|Ford]], [[Jaguar|Jaguar]], [[MG|MG]], [[Rover|Rover]], [[Volvo|Volvo]], [[Bristol|Bristol]], and [[Rolls-Royce|Rolls-Royce]].

This may be the origin of the letter Z being used in the names of so many high performance cars. (An American television body shop add. about "Z"s, including "an Italian Z" supports this.) Of course, a letter can no more be trademarked than can be a bird or animal name or a way of using numbers.

Currently, Zagato is headed by Andrea Zagato.

==Trivia==
*In the anime Magic Knight Rayearth, the main villain is High Priest Zagato.
