Ugly, yes.
Underpowered, not really. It weighs 2100 lbs so 140 hp is plenty. It's not supposed to be lightning-quick in a straight line, and I wouldn't want to be going 160 mph in something that small and unaerodynamic anyways. It's a go kart. Just for comparison purposes: if the MR2 spyder had the Celica GT-S motor then it would have an identical power-to-weight ratio of an S2000.
