I believe the old Cadillac El Dorado had a longitudinal 8.2-litre v8 powering the front wheels!

I'm sure it had some weird drive arrangement that sapped a load of power, sending it forwards, then turning it around through a series of bevel gears and then sending it back to the front wheels. Or something. I'm sure 300 will be along soon to correct me!

Also, the Renault 5 had a longitudinal engine. In a supermini!
