The Lotus Etna concept of 1984 was an Italdesign proposal for a V8-engined successor to the Esprit, also the work of Giugiaro. It used an expanded Esprit platform but the precarious financial position of Lotus meant the project was put on hold. When General Motors took a controlling stake in Lotus in 1986, the Etna was cancelled.
