The Lamborghini Toro LA690-4 is a conceptual study penned by independent designer Amadou Ndiaye. Envisioned as a modern interpretation of the 1960's Lamborghini Espada, the Toro LA690-4 is a front-engined Raging Bull supercar created to compete against other exotics of the same sort like the Aston Martin One 77 and the Lexus LFA.The designer states that the car's LA 690-4 designation stands for "Longitudinale anteriore" which translates to "Front Longitudinal" in English, while "690" refers to the V12 engine's fictional output and '4' to the car's all-wheel drive system.
Aside from the front-mid mounted V12 engine coupled to a 7 speed double clutch transmission, Ndiaye says that the chassis, body panels and other parts of the car should be made from carbon fiber and magnesium to save weight.
To our eye, while the execution looks professional, the design itself is less aspiring and unique as the first thought that came to mind is a Lamborghini-ized LFA speckled with repackaged styling cues from the Italian firm's current production and concept models.

I'm sorry, but the front is incredibly ugly...
The rear looks awesome!
looks like a rebodied Nissan
Blech!
ripping off the ZR1 with that hood eh?
This has a great deal of Miura in its form and detail, despite the angularity. I always thought that looked like a front-engine car (thanks to the transverse mounted V12) so it's cool to see that in a proper front-engined GT.
On that, it's great to see a front engine Lamborghini again. They need this to round out their product line and build their sales to Ferrari levels.
Change the front, and the air ducts at the rear and it could potentially be an attractive car...
very very ugly.
the designer should be sued!
Awesome indeed - I'd like to see another front engined lambo too. something to match the scag.
beats me why L have not followed on with a front engined car - it HAS been a while now.....
wow look at that classic fighter jet design, who ever said the car was made for beauty is an asshole, i like more aeroooooooooooooooooooodynamic than most vehicles and i wonder if the have a carbon fiber kit for it!!!!!!!!!!?
