I would've voted only cool, unless i saw one in the flesh... and well, a few months back, i did... and its AWSOME

subzero!

This model, cool, no doubt.

I say just cool because it's the kind of car that only we, car freaks apreciate.

It deserves the subzero so far for me as well

Although there is a huge difference between the first renault 5 turbo and the latest road legal GrB cars such as the 205 Turbo 16, or the audi sport quattro, the renault has been the first rallying car with numberplates ever, and not only the grB derivated car makers such as pug or lancia have copied the renaults idea, even the lancia with the integrale, ford with its cosworths, merc with the 190E, bmw with the M3, or even mitsubishi and subaru with its lancer and impreza have copied their idea; thats why the renault 5 turbo deserves the subzero level; furthermore, the 5 turbos idea comes from 1977 which means that its copies such as the lancia beta or the audi quattro were released about 5 years later which it means a lot
