The A340-600 is how it's mean't to look whereas the the first attempt looks as though some influence from the IL86 design bureau had crept in.
Interesting point; once heard an (urban legend?) that the nefarious Russkies nicked the plans for the A300 but lacking suitable high-bypass turbofans they had to fit the result with 4 rather than 2 donks, therefore: the IL-86.
