It wasn't exactly promised. They attempted to transversely fit the v8 in for production. It hindered performance. Putting it in longitudinally didn't fit. Rhys Millen team built a rear engine version. Too costly. It would've been a $70,000 car. They tried, which is more than I can say for Nissan, as of lately. Unfortunately, making a v8 coupe wasn't a thought till the market began asking for it.
