AFAIK the race SLR Benz from the 50s is the only post war straight 8..(?)
In terms of practicality the size was too long to shoehorn it under the hood/bonnet and the crankshaft(because of its length) could/and would break under stress...
So it won't be a inline 8 I'm pretty sure...
300SLR. Probably the greatest sportcar ever together with the 250 GTO, McLaren F1 and Ferrari F40
