Launch control, how?

[Olle-swe]

Hmm, how do I activate the Launch Control? We have a 4S Cross Turismo with Sport Chrono-pack. 700km on the clock.

In our Cayenne, I just put the car in Sport + and hit the braked at the same time as the throttle. It then says ”launch control activated” or something similar.
That message does not come up in the Taycan.

See @W1NGE post here (it works in either Sport or Sport Plus mode):

All cars have launch control and activated with Sport mode in the manner you've described.

- vehicle at a standstill
- readiness for operation established (i.e. powered on!)
- vehicle at operating temperature
- battery charged sufficiently
- steering wheel positioned straight ahead
- D selected
- SPORT or SPORT PLUS mode selected
- Press brake pedal with left foot
- Quickly press accelerator fully and hold down - a message will appear on the instrument cluster
- Release the brake pedal within a short space of time, car will accelerate to the max
- Locate change of underwear and proceed to...

OK I tried it for the first time tonight. Is it any different than simply "flooring it"? I couldn't tell. I only have the RWD version and owned a Tesla before, so maybe I am just used to it being fast off the light.

Nope, flooring it seems to be the way to do it. if you see the ”performance start” indication in the dash you are doing it right.
I heard that the battery must be hot enough as well, but I am not sure exactly if it is correct or what the temperature should be though.

Yeah, LC on the RWD isn't particularly mind-blowing.

Yes, there is more power output in Launch Control. See the power specs on the taycan website.
