Launch control

[fsabek]

I hope I am not asking a silly question. What is launch control in Macan ev? They listed two horsepowers and acceleration times ones with and ones without launch control. So what is it? Is it flooring the pedal while in sport plus mode? Or is there anything similar to holding brake then flooring gas then releasing brakes like in sporty ICE cars?

This is the data on the differences between Power vs. Overboost Power (with LC):

This is the explanation of Launch Control.
Please refer to the manual on required conditions and how to engage it.
Have fun!

In addition to the above - to activate it, I suspect it’s like all my other Porsches - you press both brake and accelleration pedals at the same time while in Sport or Sport Plus mode until your dash will inducate Launch Control is active and then release the brake pedal. My Macan Turbo is arriving in port tomorrow, so can’t confirm first hand it’s the same on this car.

Be warned though - that’s a lot of extra sudden power (especially in my 911) so be ready for some snapback and only do it on a wide, onubstructed straight line…

I think at about the 9:37 mark it shows the driver stepping on both Brake and Accelerator pedals and the dash lights up in Blue to indicate Launch Control is on.
