Battery in boot

[sklar]

Can anyone tell me what front engined cars have got their battery located in the boot from the factory?

My E36 325i has it, plus the new Polo GTI has it instead of adding 25kg of ballast like the Fabia vRS. I also heard the Lupo GTI has it too.

Original Mini, Volvo S60, Lotus Elan. There are loads of cars with the battery in the boot.

Audi B8 A4 and mk1 v6 TT both have batteries in the boot.

Peugeot 607 has it hidden behind the passenger side panel in the boot. Finding it the first time you need to is interesting!

Jaguar XJ, atleast the x350 v8 has

My Jaguar XJS has it in the boot.
