A Wort On A Beautiful Face

Many of the cars I enjoy looking at were designed by Italians.

• TR-6
• 1995 to 2003 BMW 5 series (E39)
• Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce
• Ferrari California
• Ferrari 458 (and many other Ferrari's)
• BMW M1
• You get the idea

Sometimes when a car is modified to get a bigger engine into it the result is pleasing.
Like when Carroll Shelby took an AC Ace:

And stuffed a V-8 engine in it with larger wheels (not my favorite paint job but you get the idea)

Here is a case where the modification for a larger engine was less than graceful:

When the Iso Grifo went from a small block V-8 to a big block V-8 the result was less than pleasing.
To quote an anonymous 11 year old "Dad, dad, look at this one! It has a table growing out of the hood"
For comparison here is the original:

I suppose someone said "I don't care how it looks make the car go faster"
Or maybe they actually liked how it came out - beauty is in the eye of the beholder I'm told.
