An entirely hypothetical question.... We all know the audi V8 fits quite snugly in a B-chassis car, but how much longer is the V10, and does anyone reckon it is possible with a front mounted radiator? Appreciate there would be surgery to the front crossmember, but that is not a problem for most people.....
I've Googled a bit but come up short, so thought I would ask on here
Yeah, that was my thought too, so a bit of chopping and a slim wide radiator and it may squeeze in....
W12 - well, having seen the W12 golf made in the factory, mid engine and a complete handful, I suspect the weight of the engine may be even more than the V10,but perhaps not, no idea
V8 (32V) barely fits because of the cooling pipes in front of the engine. V10 is 1,5cyl longer (cylinders are bit offset), then there's stuff in front of it and then try to close the bonnet. I'd say it's no go.
It does fit in C4 tho
I have spent too much time thinking about putting a Bi-turbo V10 mid-engined in a coupe, with proper suspension. One day I will have the time to actually do it.

Looks like the drive flanges are way forward under the engine compared to an I5 setup in our cars, gonna make the steering tight, but would free up space up front.
Might need some firewall massaging!
As a power plant, the V10s aren't bad value, a few around at under £4k...
