Christophe Profit, Sales and Marketing Manager of Ligier Automotive, is present this weekend to praise the qualities of the Ligier JS P320, which intends to surpass its predecessor thanks to its new 95% new bodywork, new Ohlins shock absorbers, a new, more powerful Nissan V8 VK56 engine, a suitable cooling system and an optimized aerodynamics for all circuits. With its modern look and sleek lines, this Ligier JS P320 has it all!
