In 2013, Fast & Furious fans lost their beloved Paul Walker in a tragic car crash and after almost three years, unseen footage has surfaced online that shows Paul's love towards the car. Along with that, recent reports suggest that Paul's daughter, Meadow Walker, has finally won the lawsuit against the estate of driver Roger Rodas.

On the afternoon of Nov. 30, 2013, Walker and Rodas left an event for Paul's charity, Reach Out Worldwide, held for victims of Typhoon Haiyan in Roger's red colored 2005 Porsche Carrera GT. According to CNN, the car crashed into a concrete lamp post and two trees on Hercules Street in Santa Clarita, California and after which the vehicle burst into flames. The authorities present there reported that it was Roger who was on the driver's seat. Paul was later declared dead from the combined effects of traumatic and thermal trauma; and Roger died of multiple traumatic injuries.

Now, new unseen footage has emerged online that shows Paul visiting Mine's Motor Sports in Japan. In the released clip, Paul is seen test-driving Mine's modified R35 Gt-R and is seen grinning with excitement when he drives the 600-horsepower. Hollywood Life reported that the clip came to light when GTChannel was relocating their office.

"We share this as a tribute to Paul's passion for cars, good humor, and a reminder of the gravity of such a loss," GTChannel revealed in a statement.

Check out the lost footage:

All the proceeds from the uploaded video will be donated to Paul Walker Foundation which his daughter Meadow launched as a tribute to his legacy.

After the tragic death of Paul, his daughter Meadow filed a suit against Porsche for wrongful death of her father, claiming that the car had numerous design defects. The case is still pending at the LA superior court, however, Meadow has received a considerable settlement from Roger's estate.

People reported that Meadow's attorney revealed the news that Roger's estate paid out a sum of $10.1 million in 2014.

"The amount paid by the estate of Roger Rodas into a trust for Meadow Walker only covers a fraction of what her father would have earned as an international movie star had his life not tragically been cut short," Meadow's lawyer said in his statement.
