One person's "hideously ugly", is another person's "brutally insane and effective perfection".
I've borderline zero interest in "pretty" Pebble Beach Dusenbergs, Bugatti Atlantiques, and most form over function creations.
Gimme "ugly" motorsport homologation beauties like 6R4s, Sierra RS500s, IMSA Audi 90s, over anything pretty.
I'm also a sucker for a flared arch, or weird model specific feature. Subtle stuff like the wider track of a Mercedes 500E, unique mirrors on an E36 M3 or RS 964, and even the most humble of bonnet bulges on the Peugeot 205 automatics.
It takes all sorts at the end of the day
It certainly does - I take the precaution of loving 6R4's and Bugatti Atlantics'I've borderline zero interest in "pretty" Pebble Beach Dusenbergs, Bugatti Atlantiques, and most form over function creations.

would also like Peugeot 205 T16 redone Restomod replica's smal very fast pocket rockets, with a 400+ hp 4cill or V6 RWD with tank in the front low down.
I have a 4wd 205 with T16 body running 600hp and Cossie drive train but WRC underpinnings. It’s a bit too much power to be honest. 
600hp sounds indeed a bit much for such small light car , maybe you can tune it down a bit in a way you get les turbo-lag (no idea if you have such in your set up) and a more reliable set-up, also for the drive-train.
I guess 500-550hp is still 'fine' to get some thrills and getting a bit pushed back in the seat.
The turbo is quite small and twin scroll so there isn’t a lot of lag, the new engine is over 2.2l so should spool up very quickly.

My brothers neighbour has an original 6R4, he paid something like £30k for it quite a few years back and he uses it on the road too.
If I had £300k to buy one of these I'd take their arm off!
There used to be a blue and white one near me (near Headley), it was used on the road and he had it advertised for 44k with a spare engine…I think that sold in the 30’s. If I had £300k to buy one of these I'd take their arm off!

I'm with you on this. The 6R4 must be an ultimate exoression of the function driving the form.I've borderline zero interest in "pretty" Pebble Beach Dusenbergs, Bugatti Atlantiques, and most form over function creations.

My hats off to MST for doing this. I see them on LinkedIn a lot with their escorts. Given the choice which I almost certainly won't get, I'd have one of their escorts!!
Not that long ago - 2006 on the Harry Flatters Rally - 4 minutes of flat out.

Indri followed it up with that superb Darrian. Disappointing Subaru. Mitsubishi Mirage R5 now. My good friend Dave calling the notes - That'll do...

Everyone minus me. I always thought they were embarrassing piles of dog poop. Appallingly awful contraptions that never worked and when they did vaguely work barely competed.
Rubbish dross.
I'm with you. This is blindingly ugly and pointless. Rubbish dross.
