Because the C of G of a RR is high and right over the front wheel?

Because all the weight is at the front where the skinny wheel is.

Even if it is the best technical solution out there, it makes the car look so damn ugly that I personally wouldn't go for the concept!

Interesting point to note on that though is that they'vealso pushed the wheelbase up quite a way which will drastically affect handlingin itself too. Apples and oranges comparison.
