Porsche - killing everyone since 1955:

Porsche, due to 'low*' prices and being easly available for everyone with enough money, has te biggest death toll among all sport car makers.

Looks like poor planning of the event itself, making people stand behind plastic barriers around 10 meters from high speed race track with cars dodging obstacles.
@MadMax: Linking the brand of the car to the death itself is kinda wrong on many levels.
The examples you used:
* Ryan Dunn: Drunk driving, driving over speed limit (55 mph limit, was driving around 140 mph)
* Paul Walker: Driving over speed limit (45 mph limit, was driving between 81 and 94 mph)
* James Dean: Crash caused by other driver due to driving inconsistent and taking Deans way of right
I probably could make the same up about Ferraris or other sports car brands, yet it doesn't tell anything about the brand, but mostly about the drivers.
