Oh, they all do that, Sir!

987.2 CS New.
4k miles into ownership and still amazed at how hot these cars smell - even after a leisurely 60 or 70 mile cruise at or around the legal limit - when you park them up.
What sort of 'bedding-in' use of oil can you expect? My previous Audis used about half a litre in the first 5k or so then turned off like a tap. I am assuming the P car will be the same or similar.

A simply stunning machine - always raises a smile.

7700 in my GTS and I thought it was on fire when I got home from the airport late last night.......Mind you I did the whole journey at exactly the speed limit.

Though so!

My 951 is almost bedded in now and uses around a litre per 1,000 miles, but she has got one or two leaks, bless her.

She is at 220,400 miles and does around 1600 miles a month....

My 987.1C uses about a litre every 1,500-2,000 miles and after 52,000 miles, it still smells like something is on fire after any kind of run out.

You learn to love the smell

I reckon that's more to do with tyres/engine/exhaust proximity.

My Cayman used to smell after any journey over 10 miles around the rear tyres. The 911 is worse (not 'bad' as such - just toasty!).

Yep, that's what I miss about mine

Thanks for the replies. Yes the smell is not unpleasant just .............. there. Overwhelmingly so. When it is driven.

I love the smell of Porsche in the morning..................., afternoon, evening, during the night etc. Might as well get used to it!
