I remember reading somewhere thet the 9xx slant fours were meant as a precursor to a V-8, but that eight was never built.  But that was an old source, and I know Lotus made an eight-powered Esprit near the end of its run.  Was that eight based on the 9xx, or was it a souped-up version of another company's engine, much like the four in the Elise?
