Drove through a puddle, car now smoking
We are getting hit with rain pretty bad here on the East Coast. I was driving my 2015 GTS around for work when my passenger side hit a large puddle shooting a wave of water off to the right. When I parked my car I could see smoke coming from the front. Quick video below. Any thoughts?

Your headlights probably do that as well. They get nice and warm so any water on them starts to evaporate pretty quick when not moving.

Your radiators are up there, that's just steam from them -one on each side - not smoke. You drive a warmed up car through a puddle and splash the radiator, its going to steam.

One day I saw a puddle. I did a 3 point turn, and went home.

I try to never drive my 911 when there is rain potential, but the one time I was surprised by a shower, I drove through some standing water and promptly got a transmission fault. Went away after a restart and have never seen it again. Maybe these cars aren't meant to be driven in rain!
