Etna

This vehicle aimed at occupying a top-notch position among the most sophisticated super-cars. Called Etna by Giugiaro, this study was greeted enthusiastically by the Lotus management who launched its development. However, the grave financial problems that beset the British manufacturer resulted in the majority interest being bought in 1986 by General Motors. This and other designs were put on ice and were later abandoned. The look of the super-car of the Nineties requires soft and rounded lines. Thus, so as not to turn his back on a typical theme in the sports car world and a specific feature of the British manufacturer, Giugiaro repeated the wedge-shape flow in his model, but made it softer.
