Page 1 of 1 Onroak Automotive completes its sports prototype range with the Ligier JS P3, a car aimed at the new LM P3 category. The French constructor was already present with success in the LM P2 category with the Ligier JS P2 and the Morgan LM P2, and in the CN category with the Ligier JS 53 EVO.Onroak Automotive waited for the final set of regulations to be announced before signing off the design of the Ligier JS P3, the aim being to present the most complete car complying with the LM P3 regulations. The constructor wants to take the time required to fine-tune this new LM P3 sports prototype before its homologation, which will then be frozen for three years.
The Ligier JS P3 will take full advantage of its close links with the Ligier JS P2, in particular in terms of its design and its aerodynamics directly inspired by the latter, a choice dictated by efficiency.
In addition, the Onroak Automotive design office knows all there is to know about adapting all kinds of engines to its chassis, in particular the Nissan V8s.
The Ligier JS P3 will be presented at Le Mans in June 2015 during the Le Mans 24-Hours week. A limited production run will be made this year and the first cars will be available for teams in September.
Jacques Nicolet, President of Onroak Automotive: "This Ligier JS P3 confirms our ambitions to design and sell a complete range of sports prototypes for endurance. We were already present with success on the market for the CN and LM P2 categories. Backed by our know-how, our experience, and the time we've given ourselves for its design and development we're convinced that this new car will be a success. We'd like to build up a real endurance ladder and accompany our clients from one category to the next." Page 1 of 1
