For a sheer Q car suprise, how about the Volvo 343 Rally car, which had the 2.6 litre V6 "Douvrin" engine replacing the 1.4/1.6 "Iron Cleon" that said car usually had....
(They considered turbocharging the Douvrin V6, but even with the rear mounted gearbox that the manual 343/345 had, it could'nt handle the power....)
