Porsche did this very successfully on the later 934's, 935's, 956's and 962's.

The plenum following the intercooler on the 934/935 cars fed 6 individual runners and butterflies. 956/962C water-cooled cars had the IC's positioned in front of 2 plenums; one for each cylinder bank over an ITB system.
