Paul Walker Death : Porsche's Been Sued BEFORE Over Deadly Carrera GT


Paul Walker was not the first to experience mechanical issues allegedly inside a Porsche Carrera GT - the car company was  SUED over a deadly 2005 crash involving the same vehicle ... and it paid dearly in a massive settlement .


According to the lawsuit , two men ( a driver and his passenger ) were killed on a California race track while driving a 2005 Carrera GT ... hitting a wall at over 100 MPH while trying to avoid another car on the track .

The family of the passenger Sued practically everyone Involved in the accident for gross negligence - and won $ 4.5 million settlement in a giant ... $ 350,000 of Which was paid by Porsche .


The lawsuit alleged the GT did not handle correctly on the track - and according to the attorney for the victim 's family , Craig McClellan ... sworn testimony from experts Confirmed Porsche, a major design flaw with the GT is it does not have a Porsche Stability Management system.

We're Told the PSMS Uses a computer to correct the car if the rear end loses control - and it is now required by law .

For Porsche 's part , the company denied liability - saying the car fully met federal safety standards at the time - but it still paid its portion of the settlement to avoid further litigation .

It's unclear if Roger Rodas ' Carrera GT limits been fitted with a PSMS - but McClellan says ZERO 2005 Carrera GTS ( like Roger 's ) Came off the assembly line with the system .

PSMS or not , it's worth noting the car has been a HUGE legal pint in the ass for Porsche . So far , Paul 's family has not filed a lawsuit .
