Killed Paul Walker (gas engine).
- Syrup-tan 11y agoI assume there are multiple steps you have to take in order to reach that performance, ie having to put it into ``Ludicrous mode'', then forcing the pedal to the floor. I assume it isn't something that could happen easily on accident. It's also notable that Paul Walker wasn't driving when he died.

- jonah 11y agoThe Carrera GT is a notoriously hard-to-handle car. It's twitchy and has very few electronic "nannies". Any car can kill you if you drive it outside its safe envelope.
- exDM69 11y ago> The Carrera GT is a notoriously hard-to-handle car It's a really well balanced car with a good weight distribution and handles beautifully. The issue is that it's very different feeling to having an engine at the front and the center of gravity further forward. If someone who is not used to mid-engined cars gets it into a slide, they'll be caught by surprise and probably lose control completely. But with a little bit of practice, it can be driven hard and recovered from pretty nasty slides.
- jonah 11y agoI don't know what your experience with the car is but even professional drivers and car reviewers describe it as challenging and a handful. Also, it doesn't have a electronic stability-control system. Of course the driver is likely at fault in this case, but I'd wager that he wouldn't have gotten himself into trouble in most other supercars.
