You mean like this?
I know acura and saab did this a lot I can't think of others.

Chrysler LHS is another. I think it's mostly packaging reasons and slightly cheaper to go transverse.

The b5 generation from VAG had the engine in front of the front axle. The transmission is a transaxle, so it's in fact worse than a transverse engine in terms of weight distribution. pic realted is where the axles go.
