It would be cool. But the way (((emissions laws))) are framed we instead get full size trucks where the biggest engine is a v6 smaller than 4L, the m5 hassn't had a v10 in ages and least some of the merc -63 cars have their 6.3 replaced by literally a 2.0 4cyl.

Stuff like that does happen time to time.
BMW 1 series was pushing it a lot already with having a engine selection matching the 335i/340i
Mercedes has the W204 C class with a 6.4L V8, and then Alfa Romeo and VW put a 3.2 V6 in the front of the 147 and Golf R32, Renault put a 3.0 V6 in the rear
Typically any short chassis/big engine cars drive like shit though. Rarely the truly fastest engine option too once tuners give the smaller, turbocharged engines a tune up.

emissions laws mean it is preferable to put a V8 in an SUV than a compact car
same reason why there's no small pick-ups any more

The bigger the power the more things need to build around that power. Chassis that doesn't deform under preassure. Brakes that can actually stop the car safely and quickly. Suspensions that can actually handling the force. Wheels that can accomodate the weight and load. Transmission that can survive the torque and power spikes/shocks. Engine bay that can fit the big engine while still providing enough room for maintainance and cooling. All of that translates to weight and size. And we aren't even talking about safety standards or emissions yet.
