Although based on the engine used in the A6GCS/53, the A6G/54 reflected significant changes with the vehicle being set up for road touring rather than racing - albeit that Zagato built 20 competition coupes. The engine became wet sump, the valve train driven by chain rather than gears and the compression changed. The frame was similar to the A6G. Front suspension included a 14 mm anti-roll bar and the rear leaf springs were given an additional leaf. |
