\"Lamborghini<\/p>\n

The Lamborghini Toro LA690-4 – you are now looking at – is a conceptual study penned by independent designer Amadou Ndiaye. The Toro LA690-4 is a front-engined supercar created to compete against other exotics like the Aston Martin One 77 and the Lexus LFA. <\/p>\n

The designer’s words express that the car’s LA 690-4 designation stands for ‘Longitudinale Anteriore’<\/em> or ‘Front Longitudinal’<\/em> in English, while “690” refers to the V12 engine’s fictional output and ‘4’ to the car’s all-wheel drive system. The V12 engine is coupled to a seven-speed double clutch transmission. Ndiaye envisions that the chassis, body panels and other parts of the car should be made from carbon fiber and magnesium to save weight.<\/p>\n

We must say the looks aren’t a true Lamborghini-styled design. The long nose with its negative angle and short back aren’t really design influences we see in current Lamborghini designs. The pictures show a LF-A look-a-like with some decent Lamborghini influences from current production and concept models. What are your thoughts on the design?<\/p>\r\n
