The unique DeltaWing Le Mans sportscar that will make its debut at next year’s 24 Hours of Le Mans will tackle the world’s greatest endurance race on Michelin tires.

The Highcroft Racing-run entry was announced by the Automobile Club de l’Ouest in June as the successful applicant to occupy “Garage 56” for 2012 – the additional entry reserved for new and unique automotive technologies.

The DeltaWing sportscar concept was unveiled today at Road Atlanta as the world’s biggest sportscar teams prepared for the final round of the 2011 American Le Mans Series – the 10 hour/1000 mile Petit Le Mans.

Highcroft’s Duncan Dayton revealed the striking red DeltaWing concept with Scott Clark, Chief Operating Officer, Michelin Americas Small Tires.
