Too much falafel and you were scared?
Sorry Google tells me it hit 40c in Dubai today, which is pretty toasty and we never see anything like that here in blighty.
Your cats are just running hotter than most, if it smells eggy then your cats are on their way out, if just fuel then check your trims.

Now I have time to think it could be the clutch or gear box trying to catch up when you floor the pedal real hard , I have smelt that a few times from mine and I know the smell a clutch gives of when it's on the way out , on vans we owned , Have also smelt the same coming from a ftype R 5l when in a pretend race it was in front of me and ponged of clutch

Yeah I’m sure it’s a normal , just comes into the cabin when driving. It’s not eggy so wouldn’t think it’s the cats. It’s hot here Easily over 45 degree c but I’m not ringing it’s neck in that heat mostly nigh driving.
I was going to just check the egr valve and stuff, there’s no oil leaks any where in the car, gearbox doesn’t slip so can’t see it being the clutches in the box, maybe i should do a gearbox oil change although the dealer tells me it’s sealed for life - who knows who to believe
just coming from a z06 And my other car is a raptor I would have thought the build quality would have been better in the jag 😂 clearly not, neither of those smell when u give them beans!

Yeah I think so to , tbh it’s done 100k miles and o have been giving it some occasional stick in 45 degree heat today / this week and it’s fine
if something was up it would have shown by now. No codes I’m logging it on an app and it seems fine. Seems to burn a a bit of oil but most cars do when u drive them a bit hard
