Porsche likely settled to avoid the legal costs that would be incurred in going to trial. And of course to avoid the hazards of litigation. What is the cost of settling versus the cost of going to trial. I'm sure the lawyers of their product liability and general liability insurance carrier would be pushing for that.

An adverse finding in trial could hurt their reputation more than a settlement.
