1QT/1000 miles? That's equal to 0.9463 litres per 1000 miles.
Just for your information (and comparison purposes), my car (997S) has used 700 mL of engine oil in around 4600 miles.
Either you drive your car pretty hard (i.e. high revs alot) or you are consuming an above average level of engine oil due to some fault.

PS, the engine did consume a lot of oil. I had recently serviced the car, and 1000km after, I had to put and additional 2lts of oil to the engine

Yes, I've posted this exact problem before for my 2005 C2S. Your engine will most probably have scored bores. Your dealership will need to do an engine strip down to have a look. My engine was replaced because of this.

Here's the only pic that I have of my tailpipes. It is not the best picture, but can you see the difference?
The dealer will have the full diagnosis on Thursday, I'll keep you posted.

I [edited] know that some of you are in a similar situation, but it has been a month and I have yet to receive news from the dealer and/or porsche. Things are so much slower than expected.

I was under the impression that (at least US) dealerships were not permitted to do 'open surgery' on engines and had to send them back to PCNA/whatever
