Start with what the Ligier JS2 R is: a 2-door coupé with 3.7 , built from 2018, as electrification stopped being an experiment and the crossover took every market. What it meant takes a little longer.
The story
The Ligier JS2 R is a GT racing car manufactured by French automaker Ligier. Designed solely for track use, the car is an homage to the original Ligier JS2 introduced in 1972.
What is underneath
The engine is 3.7 . On the scales it comes to 1055 kg. Drive goes through a 6-speed sequential manual. The layout matters: the engine sits behind the driver and ahead of the rear axle, which puts the mass in the middle of the car and is why mid-engined cars change direction the way they do. The wheelbase is 2680 mm. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
Its place in the line
In the Ligier line-up the Ligier JS2 R has a clear place: the factory was Abrest, France. The cars a buyer would have weighed it against include the Porsche Taycan, the Tesla Model 3, the Tesla Model Y. Nearby in the Ligier catalogue sit the Easymile EZ10 and the Ligier JS2.
