If they used a V10 you could probably expect dimensions more similar to the Dodge Viper in the front end. Especially when trying to get most of such a large motor situated behind the front axle line. Not to mention the added mass from a turbo system on a V motor tends to be fairly low, providing a more optimal center of gravity. Of course this is more speculative, but that would be the biggest strengths that I'd consider.
