Anybody else getting a burning smell from the car after driving?

 

Yes. I think that’s normal especially in the first 1000 miles. I will let others chime in as to why there is a smell.

 

Mine smells like burning after evey drive. 3k Miles now.

 

To the OP: have you eaten baked beans recently??

 

Yes. That's the Porsche smell. It means you're driving it right.

 

The loaner 4s I had also had a bit of a burning smell. Close to 6k miles on it.

 

Mine doesn't smell like burning. I am at about 6k miles.

 

Is this your first porsche? that smell is indeed the Porsche smell and has been present on every 911 I've owned. Its normal

 

Agreed. I've experienced it in every Porsche I've driven hard.

 

Funny that this just came up. I picked up my C2S yesterday and when I got home and walked around the back of the car I smelled that familiar scent. IMHO it's really not a burning smell so much as the smell of hot metal, but definitely Porsche.

 

I seem to recall it was related to the coating they put on the cars (engines and metal parts specifically?) for protection during transportation, and that it took a while for that to "burn off". But perhaps I am misremembering :-)

 

My #1 favorite smell in the world ... hot, hard driven p-car. If you don’t smell it you’re not driving it right 😀😀. Someone should make a room freshener with that smell.

 

Do you have the front suspension lift?

 

All Porsches I've owned emit a smell when driven hard like a tar/oil mixture hitting hot metal.

 

Have nearly 10k on my '19 911 and have never smelled anything out of the engine bay. I do cool mine off before I put it in the garage, the temps are normal when I shut down.

The only scent is the leather smell from the interior.
