Not many automakers have accomplished as much as Audi at LeMans. Though it only began competing at LeMans in 1999, the automaker has achieved six overall victories from its eight starts, including the first ever win for a diesel-powered car with its R10 last year. This Saturday before the start of the 75th running of the 24 Hours of LeMans, a 12-meter high sculpture will be unveiled in the circuit’s “Village” to honor Audi’s success in what many consider to be the most demanding race in the world.

Fourtitude has pics of the “Audi Tower” as it looks today, which appears encased inside a giant box shaped like, well, a 12-meter-tall tower. According to Audi, the actual sculpture features 24 rotating rings that light up between the tower’s base and its top. There’s also a video wall on the sculpture’s front face, and its glass surface will be etched with the names of every driver to have ever won the 24 Hours of LeMans.

We’re excited to see what this thing looks like, but have enough faith in Audi’s aesthetic taste to expect a finely crafted work of art. You can check out a few more pics of the tower as it stands by clicking the Read link.
