When we talk about prestigious automobile circuits like that of Nürburgring in Germany, we do not necessarily think of electric cars and even less of cars without a license.

This challenge has proven that a light, urban and responsible mobility can also be synonymous with passion and performance, ”says Ligier on his site.
The electric car takes the advantage on the track of the famous German circuit
