Clutch Pedal/linkage problems of the 2010 Porsche Boxster

Starting from a stop light, I engaged the clutch on my new 2010 Porsche carrera s. Upon reaching appropriate speed, I lifted my foot off the clutch pedal. The engine continued to rev as I applied acceleration, but the car did not move forward. I then noticed the clutch pedal did not return to its fully disengaged position, rather it stayed half depressed. This resulted in overreving, loss of speed in traffic, and burning and smoke coming from the rear of the car.
