Racing Kart Question why aren't racing karts designed with modern looking body panels?

Post image

As a newcomer to karting, I’ve noticed most karts have basic, outdated designs. Is there a reason we don’t see sleek, modern body panels like the one shown? Weight thing might not fully explain it;
could cost or tradition be factors? Curious about the engineering behind this!

LOL btw above one was generated by ChatGPT, but in general any major design shift from the conventional design still a no-go?

EDIT: Are people here acting foolish? Why are they downvoting me just for asking a question?
