Engine swap possibilities?

Has anyone ever looked into swapping in larger engines? I just love the car so much I was curious about what possibilities there could be.

That won’t be possible, the transverse platform the F48 uses cannot physically fit a larger engine such as the B58. Even if you somehow manage to shove it in, it will mess with the weight balance of the car due to the added weight of the engine which will cause you to understeer like mad.
