The Maserati A6GCS/53 Berlinetta is a relatively fast car for its era, and in the nature of being fast, it was built to be extremely lightweight. It weighed just 1,631 lbs, and it has a 170 hp 2.0-liter engine, which fits in a tubular chassis.
If You Want One, The A6GCS/53 Comes At A Big Price
A6GCS/53 Berlinetta is known for its rarity, and one of the limited cars made was sold for $3.7 million in 1996. It’s more intriguing that all units of this model survived and are still in existence today. However, some of them are now covered with new bodies.
Undoubtedly, the Berlinetta has proven to be one of the most elegant and beautiful automobile creations in the industry’s history. It has the reputation of being the last Pininfarina to don the epic Maserati badge for the next half a century. One of these iconic cars is displayed at the famous Umberto Panini Collection.
The available Maserati A6GCS today are auctioned within a price range of about $3.25 million to $3.7 million. This is due to the fact that the units produced are scarce. This price may differ based on the seller. Still, the highest price paid for a Maserati A6GCS was $5.17 million at an auction. But these figures are still nowhere near the record most expensive car sold at an auction—the 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR Uhlenhaut Coupe—which RM Sotheby sold for $142 million
