The Alfa Romeo GTV6 has the clutch and transmission at the rear.
Yes, that whole generation of 1980s/1990s Alfas (the GTV6, 75, Giulietta and SZ) used the transaxle pictured above.
Note that the gearbox (and clutch housing) lie ahead of the rear axle line, though: what you really want, for best weight distribution and narrow transmission tunnel, is to hang the gearbox out behind the rear axle line and have the clutch housing just in front of the diff. The only problem then is that it gives you a very long propshaft, which you need to split and provide with intermediate support bearings to avoid 'whirling'.
As an aside, the Alfa transaxle is monster of a thing, weight-wise - I think it's one of the heaviest transaxles I've ever handled.
