Well obviously something has melted.

It could be some electrical or mechanical part or some foreign object (I got
a plastic bag caught on the exhaust once - terrible smell, but no damage).
Perhaps you left something under the bonnet (hood US), or some of the sound
insulation foam has fallen off the underside.

Once it has all cooled down have a good look, perhaps you can work out what
is missing. Starter [solenoid], fuel pump, ignition all sound possible.
