I still recall watching a 993tt catch fire @ button willow many years ago after it burst a coolant hose that subsequently dumped coolant onto a hot exhaust can .... Boom
I think it's probably some excess cosomline burning off a hot engine part since the car is so new ... ESP given the burnt popcorn description ... But definitely worth a check of hoses etc ...

Could be some dust burning off from the exhaust. Plastic shavings, etc. The car is new and is getting broken in. Next time stop after warming up with the engine running and see if there is more smoke.
If it was something more serious it would have developed into something by now. Check the link in my sig

With my .1 GT3, after 3 years, I often still got the smell of popcorn or burning leaves. I think the car may have been gathering leaves somewhere... never did get to the bottom of it.
