It may have had a bit more potential if Coloni had built a dedicated tub. In the 70's the boxer Ferrari's and Brabham Alfas found an advantage in the low height of the Flat 12 engine and were aerodynamically excellent (until ground effects created a need for narrow engines. A decade on and flat bottoms again compulsory, there could have been some merit in a low, wide engine.....as long as it was a powerful, light one as well!
I can't imagine a Coloni tub, built for a V8, made best use of this shape of engine though.
