The dealer told us to keep the car running for no less than 10 minutes (no short trips). Is this really necessary?

I'll post pics again later

 

Car looks sexy, congrats and enjoy.

 

one the coolest steering wheels imo

 

It's a modern car so short trips should be fine, the dry sump system means there is no oil pan (sump) as such and the oil is stored in a seperate tank. The oil system is normally presurised with an external pump, the dry sump system is popular in racing due to the pump constantly being able to supply oil to the internals and not having to rely on an oil pick up in a deep pan. This means under hard driving such as cornering, braking, accelerating etc the oil is never sloshing away from the pick up such as in a pan. A dry sump system shouldn't mean no short journeys or short run times as race cars such as hillclimb cars only run for maybe a couple of minutes at the most and they do ok.

 

never heard that.

 

I don't think short trips could really hurt the car... but hammering on the gas before its at operating temp is a real killer for ANY car/engine/transmission.

 

By short trips I would think its more of a low oil temp issue then they dry sump not being able to lubricate the engine properly.

 

I know the theory of the dry sump, but I'm looking for real life-use care advices.
If the temp gets to the engine's normal work level is enough to turn it off I guess...

 

Read the manual, if it doesn't say it there - you have nothing to worry about.

Most of the time, dealers do not know what they are talking about.
