Honestly, I think it's kind of badass. It's a racing car for the road, but Porsche being Porsche have given it styling cues which make it look vaguely conventional yet still bonkers, and the interior looks astonishingly liveable.
 
I like the idea of this car and I love homologation road cars based on race cars any day. But I don't think the GT1 is cool. Every time I look at it I think it looks like a 911 with a silly body kit (because it kinda is) with poor fitting wheels.

I'll go with meh.
 
Ultra-rare Porsche, sub zero. I almost don't need to know what it is. It looks weird, kinda ugly, but that just makes it cooler when we're talking about cars in this realm.
 
Much like it's equally bonkers GT1 brethren at the time, it's a bonkers race car for the road, from an era of great GT racing. Plus it just looks great, and the rest of the GT1 homologation specials are just brilliant in that regard.

Sub-Zero easy.
