blished barriers. Straight out of the ultra-mobile generation, this
mini town car (3.15m) with its audacious design symbolises
the latest trends in license free cars. The JS-50 is fashionable
and uninhibited, with its audacious twin-tone colour scheme,
15 inch wheels and spoiler. The interior has a lounge ambience.
Three spoke steering wheel, chrome trim and embroidered JS
initials on the seats give it a cosy feel. Under the hood there
is another jewel: the new Lombardini DCI Revolution Smartdrive Technology engine, the most economical (2.5l/100km)
and silent of its category. This engine gives remarkable driving
pleasure with its controlled turnover rate and generous torque.
The JS 50 can be driven in complete serenity with its four disk
brakes, protection bars in the door panels and a tubular aluminium chassis. This latest production from the Ligier team turns
heads even outside of its intended public with its combination
of innovative style with the latest in high technology, proving
that it has achieved its own true legitimacy.

style is bound to have an eect on everyone, and not just

tarmac with its streamlined prole and muscular wings. The
JS50 RC provokes love at rst sight with its 15 inch black
