The Maserati A6G 200 was a road-going version of the competition A6GCS. The 2-liter A6GCS straight-6 engine was tuned by Vittorio Bellentani to provide better performance. The chassis was constructed by renowned chassis builder Gilco and between 1954 and 1957 sixty examples were created. Maserati chose to outsource the bodywork and no two cars were alike; each reflected the first customer's design preferences. All the cars were sold as bare chassis to be fitted with bodies from Allemano, Frua and Vignale, but the most celebrated versions were built by Zagato, who built a total of nineteen different lightweight coupes. This A6G/54 (chassis 2106) was among the first group of six chassis sent to Zagato to be bodied and was the fourth A6G/54 Zagato completed.
