I agree to this.
When handled wrong, even driving an original fiat500 can kill you.
Porche will settle, and she'll get the money she wants.
I don't see how she'll win the argument in court though.
Of course the biggest mistake lies in the driver..
But this is an exotic car capable of 200+ mph and its street legal to boot.. Porsche should know rich people would flog it on the street and why they didnt put traction control after so many cases also has merit IMHO
If you're going to have TC why even have an engine this powerful? On dry pavement would the TC even have turned on in that short a time?
I don't disagree that the driver is most at fault, but making a car that is too dangerous to drive is also a problem. Should an auto maker make a car that 100% focus on a performance but not on safety and market it as street legal? With the type of clientelle of people that buy these cars thats not a wise choice imo.
Mount Everest is tall, and Mount Everest ought to know that rich shitsnobs would flock to climb it, and thus we ought to sue Mount Everest for being so dangerous when it knows that rich shitsnobs would flock to it for climbing.
She's only allowed to sue if she can spell and say the name Porsche correctly
General consensus says that the car is insanely difficult to drive, the driver was very experienced, they were not racing.
I have no problem with blaming the driver for speeding. There's no coming back from the fact that he was going twice the speed limit. People make mistakes. It's a bit easier to wrap a Porsche around a pole compared to most other cars. Not saying Porsche is to blame at all though.
The problem with this whole "let's compare this Porsche to a civic" premise is the fact that it's sensationalization. It's also discrediting the fact that the car is a monster to drive.
That's either here nor there though. Once again, I think this entire case can be decided by the tires.
I know someone in San Diego with one of those preserved in his garage. I stored some of my stuff in it for a few weeks.
Yep. I see those everywhere even though they claim that they aren't selling well. There's been one at my brother's apartment complex for at least a few year now. The classic one hiding in my friend's garage was a surprise though. I don't think he ever intends to drive his classic Fiat. He traded in his VW for a nice mini just before I left.Nowadays there is a new model. And i believe it is pretty fast for having such a little engine.
There is a model with a 200hp coming from a turbo 1.4l engine.
Gold digging young girl attempting to profit over her dead father because he and his buddy drove like idiots - the Internet is going to have a field day with this.
IIRC Rogas died instantly while Paul survived the crash but died in the fire. Still no way to tell if his injuries were survivable if someone was to pull him out of the car at the time. What is interesting is that someone was filming the crash while Paul was still alive yet did nothing to try to save him at all. Just kept on filming and then uploaded everything to youtube.
Not difficult to drive if driven at sane speeds.
IMHO If it is easier to wreck a car because it is a difficult to drive enthusiast car, then the driver has a responsibility. I would love to drive in a ferrari or bugatti or even this model porsche. But i would never floor it unless on a dedicated racetrack / practice race track or open field. I am using myself as an example here, why could other drivers not do the same ? He was speeding and reckless driving.
These quotes collectively represent exactly the point that I want to drive.
There's no need to floor this car to go fast. I suspect that throttle is like an on off switch. You had 10 seconds to change your mind to be responsible again in the civic, you have one second here.
but the dude was "experienced".

Read about what Jeremy Clarkson said about this car in this link.
It's a difficult to drive car for anyone.
Although I'm in agreement that the guy was speeding.
CF monocoque should be superior to most other cars, unless delamination is an issue, or a major designflaw somewhere.

Remember who own's Porsche.
Now think about the timing of this lawsuit.
Coincidence? Nope.
