Tipo 6CM - 1936-1939

Built to replace the 4CM, now struggling against competition from cars such as the ERA, the 6CM boasted an all-new in-line six-cylinder engine that was to prove itself very reliable indeed. The chassis was the fruit of lessons learned during the development of the 8VRI, of which only the best features were retained.

The independent suspension was retained on the front wheels, but there was a return to the solid axle for the rear as it was more reliable. The bodywork had very nicely designed aerodynamics and the results were soon speaking for themselves. Later developments made to the car involved the engine, chassis, bodywork and suspension, and ensured that the single-seater remained competitive until 1939.
