I guess it didn't help much, since I have never seen that configuration again.

The Toyota TS020 did similar, and a few of today's hyper cars have very long mirror stalks. Putting mirrors at the A pillar is about the worst place for them in aero terms, but of course, there are other reasons why that's the favored location. Remember that 90% of the reason for buying a Ferrari is the styling.
