Yep, mine has this smell also. I was very curious as to if anyone else smelled this. I guess my question is answered.

13000 km and the smell under WOT is still as strong as the day I bought it. I had hoped it would go away but it has not.

Funny, I have never had this occur outside of the first week I owned the car. Currently at 8000 miles, and I love to open it up. I did notice exhaust fumes one time after I let the car sit for about 2 weeks, but I have never noticed the smell you all are talking about outside the initial week.
