Launch mode on the GT

[Jason Watt]

I don't see any button on the steering wheel for thit feature - don't know if there is a button for it in the center console, or if we are having to do without this option??

would be nice to have, especially on a turbo car.

Yes, launch control is available in all modes but wet. I would imagine it will be most effective in sport or normal, rather than track mode, when there is a little more give in the suspension.

That's great reading.
Do you know how it's activated??

Looks like there is a launch button on the center console from the pictures I've seen.

Looks like I'm wrong. Road & Track has a good video of the interior and there is no launch button on the center console. From top to bottom buttons are hazard, traction, suspension damper, and front lift.

There is no launch button on the interior. But if DBK says the car has it then its in the settings I am sure.

Absolutely. In DBK we trust.

I think most cars don't have a launch button, but instead a procedure to tap various buttons/brakes and simply letting it go.

Correct, call up appropriate menu, foot on brake, floor gas pedal, await further instructions.....

in my SL63 AMG the launch is started by stepping on the brake with your left foot, then pulling both paddle shifters toward you, select OK and then it instructs you to press the gas peddle and then launch...
