Car with both Transverse & Longitudinal engine options?
Discussion
As per title, has there ever been a production car manufactured where both transverse & longitudinal engine installations were available in the same model?
For example, you walk into the showroon and if you order the mid-range 4cyl you get a transverse engine, but if you order the 6cyl GT you get a longitudinal engine.
(Excluding cars where the engine changed location, e.g. 'normal' front engined Renault Clios vs the mid-engine V6)

The Renault 21 too

You could see the difference on the rear section of the front wing.

That's the one that I was trying to remember. I thought Renault did this, but was thinking it was the 18 from 1970s.
The BMW 1-series is currently built as both, albeit not in the same body-style. The (Chinese market) saloon is FWD, the (rest of the world) hatch is RWD.
The Ferrari Mondial was available as both over its lifetime.
I don't think either is/was quite what you're after though because neither was available at the same time in the same place with both layouts.
