Ligier is a Frenchautomobile maker created by former racing driver and rugby player Guy Ligier.The firm entered the automobile business with the Ligier JS2, a central-engined sports car for the road powered by the same MaseratiV6 engine as the Citroën SM. The Maserati V6 engine had a modern design and the JS2 was considered by many as a well designed car with a very good power-to-weight ratio. The final SMs were also produced in the Ligier factory in Vichy. The 1973 energy crisis caused such a decline in the market for the JS2 that production ceased soon after, and the firm changed its focus to microcars, for example, 1984moped-powered Ligier JS6. Ligier is now owned by Piaggio.
