Paul Walker's daughter has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Porsche, claiming the sports car he was riding in had multiple design flaws.

The suit, filed Monday on behalf of 16-year-old Meadow Rain Walker, seeks unspecified damages for defects it alleges contributed to her father's death.

"The bottom line is that the Porsche Carrera GT is a dangerous car. It doesn't belong on the street," Walker's attorney, Jeff Milam, said in a statement. "And we shouldn't be without Paul Walker or his friend, Roger Rodas."

Calvin Kim with Porsche Cars North America said the automaker hasn't seen the lawsuit and wouldn't comment on specifics.

"As we have said before, we are saddened whenever anyone is hurt in a Porsche vehicle, but we believe the authorities' reports in this case clearly established that this tragic crash resulted from reckless driving and excessive speed," Kim said.

The lawsuit
The lawsuit alleges "the vehicle lacked safety features that are found on well-designed racing cars or even Porsche's least expensive road cars -- features that could have prevented the accident or, at a minimum, allowed Paul Walker to survive the crash."

The court document contends the 2005 Carrera GT should have come with an electronic stability control system to protect against swerving. The car also lacked adequate side door reinforcement bars and had defective rubber fuel lines, according to the lawsuit.

Investigators: Speed -- not drugs, racing or mechanical failure -- killed Paul Walker

The high-performance 2005 Porsche Carrera GT was going "between 80 and 93 mph at the time the car impacted a power pole and several trees," the report said. The posted speed limit on the Santa Clarita, California, office park road was 45 mph.

The sheriff's conclusion was no surprise, since the coroner's report previously estimated the car was speeding at 100 mph.

A source familiar with the Walker family's lawsuit, however, say that investigators who analyzed surveillance video think the car was actually going slower. The suit, in fact, claims the vehicle was traveling "at approximately 63 to 71 mph when it suddenly went out of control."

The family's investigators think the car was going between 40 and 60 mph at the point of impact, according to the source.

Autopsy blames impact and fire for actor Paul Walker's death

Possibly to explain the damage to the car in a lower-speed accident, the suit says the doors on the Porsche used "side door reinforcement bars that lacked adequate welds and consisted of material weaker in strength than what is used in popular mass-market cars ... designed and built to be operated at speeds much slower than the Carrera GT."

Kazeem sues spanner producers for poor performance.

Poor and substandard design. They should learn from Volvo on safety automobile standards. My opinion

The Bill to Ban you for booking space is been debated in the National Assembly, after we are done with saraki, we will move onto you.

I hope she can win this case, cause the car designed is patented and her case is kinda awkward.

Okay. Wise girl. Reminds me when one UK player blamed his boot and sued Adidas for his poor performance in world cup.

His name.......? I have forgotten.
