How about Caddy Allante?
The poster child for transverse V8 is always the Impala SS in my mind.

Transverse U8 (not V8) that never got beyond prototype, there was a Matra Bagheera.

Ford Taurus SHO (the one that nobody likes)
Lincoln Continental (the one that’s actually a Taurus)
Chevy Impala SS
Chevy Monte Carlo SS?
Pontiac Grand Prix GXP
Buick LaCrosse Super (I think that’s all of the LS4s? Or was it a Lucerne, not a LaCrosse?)
Cadillac Allante
Cadillac Eldorado and variants (I think that’s basically ETC?)
Cadillac Seville and variants (SLS and STS?) - also, I’m counting multiple generations here, the HT-4100s are accounted for by this.
Cadillac Deville and variants (DTS?)
Cadillac XTS
Oldsmobile Aurora I think had a N*, too?
Ariel Atom RST V8 (and the engine is in the back this time)
I feel like some Ferrari, maybe the Mondial or something, was transverse V8?
Cizeta-Moroder was TWO transverse V8s sharing a crankshaft. OK, that’s cheating, except it really was designed as two V8s - the firing order would be different if it were a true V16.
And I think that’s it.

Huh. The normal I4 in the Bagheera was transverse, so why the crap did they change for the U4? I didn’t know that - thought I’d seen a pic in transverse...

That’s pretty cool, I didn’t even know they made the SHO in that gen of Taurus, let alone that it was a V8. I thought they were all 6's, with the earlier ones having the Yamaha heads.
