I don't see how such a stunner shouldn't get a full subzero!

Innovation.
That car in 1955 and it still looks amazing!
250kph with crappy brakes - seriously cool.

without a doubt subzero. if you look when they built it and what specifications it had, absolutely great. a legend, there's nothing to add.

Once youve seen one in the flesh, you will realise this legend of a car can only be subzero

It can't be but it is.. So many tech innovations... too bad the company doesnt put out comparable products anymore.

Superb looking car. I've seen a couple in the flesh and they were awesome. This was one of te first fuel injected cars if I am not mistaken, right?

Sub-zero for me - but the truth of the matter is that the roadster is more practical and better driver of the two and better looking in my book.
