Wowza! Last week was the week of multi Lamborghini Concepts matched by a pretty cool looking one-off Ferrari P540 Superfast Aperta! First we saw the Lamborghini Toro Concept, then the Lamborghini Madura and now the Lamborghini Ankonian Concept!

The Lamborghini Toro LA690-4 is a modern concept interpretation of the 1960 Lamborghini Espada aimed to compete against the Aston Martin One 77 and the newly minted Lexus LFA.

The designer Amadou Ndiaye stated that the 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.

Here are the first live pictures, specs and a detailed review of the Corvette C6 Z06 based Spada Codatronca Prototype that delivers 505 hp via it’s Corvette LS7. I am not going to sugar coat my initial thoughts; I think this pseudo-exotic is absolutely hideous! I really hope that when I get a chance to see this monster in person (designed by legendary Italian designer Ercole Spada, known for his work with Ferrari, Lamborghini, Zagato, and Aston Martin) that I will change my point of view.

Romanian industrial designer Iulian Bumbu has just released these Lamborghini Insecta concept pictures, inspired by insect exoskeletons. It is his take on what future Lamborghini styling might look like.
