While it's true that this is possible on many cars...it seems to be a European thing. In particular, at least on my Saab, it seems like I shut off the engine, and then about 10 seconds later the fan will come on for another 30 seconds.
I remember that, in the old days of turbocharging, people were told to leave their cars in idle for about a minute, after a long drive, so that the turbo could cool down. I have hypothesized that this is what's going on (but non-turbo vehicles do it too.)
