The Ligier JS P320 is an LMP3 Le Mans Prototype racing car, launched in 2020 as the first of the four new generation chassis selected by the ACO (Automobile Club de l’Ouest). It’s an updated version of its predecessor Ligier JS P3 to match the “2020 Generation 2 Le Mans Prototype 3 (LMP3) regulations”, which beside Ligier involves 3 other manufacturers being homologated to compete in: Norma, ADESS AG and Ginetta.
As its predecessor was slower than competition, the Ligier enginners focused on improving its aerodynamic efficiency, with 95% new bodywork, Öhlins dampers and adapted coling system.
New engine was also introduced replacing the old Nissan V8 VK50 for V8 VK56 engine, providing additional 35hp.
