By now, everybody’s aware of actor Paul Walker’s shocking and ironic death. The 40-year old star of the successful “Fast & Furious” franchise met his demise due to a fiery car crash while onboard a 2005 Porsche Carerra GT. Speed was a factor in the crash, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff. The car is said to be a notoriously difficult vehicle to handle, even for professional drivers, according to Autoweek magazine. Powered by a V-10, 610-hp engine, a top driver even called it “scary,” the magazine reported. Shown here is a 2005 Porsche Carrera GT (not the one involved in the accident).
