So octane reckons that a veyron engine is shorter than a lambo v12. What would you transplant it into?

An L322 Range Rover, it was originally engineered to take the BMW V12, so it should squeeze in as that's not a particularly narrow engine bay either. It'd probably notice the 450kg lump over the front axle less than many cars. Gearbox might be tricky though...
Any top speed estimate? smile

For some reason and with memories of the Chris harris veyron review, I'm thinking Clio v6. I suspect the handling may suffer though!
