Might be Cosmoline
It's the substance that Porsche use to cover the underside of the engine and gearbox. When it gets hot it can smell like a burning clutch or tire. If that's the case it's perfectly normal and shows you are using the car properly.
In any case check the car for oil leaks around the cam covers and also look at the ground under your car where you've parked it to see if there are any leaks.
If there's no sign of a leak it was probably hot Cosmoline.
