What are some mismatched engine/vehicle combos you think would be diabolically fun to drive?

>>28646864The T16 drivetrain is legit one of the wackiest things I've ever seen. They took the longitudinal FWD setup from the Citroën DS/SM and turned it sideways, then attached driveshafts to the outputs of the diff, and attached the front and rear diffs to those.
>>28647476Fuckin French?
>>28646753It fits, but a high torque v8 in a tiny mid engine car don't work together. A turbo quad4 with Getrag would be heaven.
>>28647477Makes me wanna see someone do a kitcar using a regular transverse FWD setup turned 90°, with Golf R diffs in the front and back because those have a 1:1 drive ratio. DIY baby Murcielago.
>>28647485I see the thinking and why they did it. Maybe they should have paused and consider if they should?
>>28647491>Maybe they should have paused and consider if they should?It was arguably the best Group B car, so it worked out pretty well for them.
>>28647493The people that think outside the box should be rewarded. Good for them.
