If they have placed driver and engine next to each other in the center of the car than it would become very interesting.

No, I was serious (I get the heat joke).

On such wide cars having engine in the place of co-driver would be very interesting because you'd get a car with lenght/width ratio similar to karting. Placing V engine would be dificult but imagine in-line 4 cyl turbocharged engine in racing car that is less than 4 m long.... very racy!
Such car would have excelent handling for sure.
