There's no set up for launch control. My understanding is you put the car in dynamic/sport hold the brake firmly while also holding the gas pedal past the 'notch' it will go to 3500rpm, then release the brake. It worked for me, so if that's wrong then maybe someone could explain the process.

So it’s just a brake torque?

I guess? The manual on talks about launch control for S tronic transmissions which we don't have. I read that's how ours works (what I previously wrote) hence why I tested/wrote that comment.

I think you're also supposed to deactivate the ESC/stability control (based on others' posts)

@2PUTT
Seriously!? What kind of post is that? You need to provide more info than that! Educate us on what you learned.
While most may know, some may not. So this is the place to post information.
