Default Launch and 0-60

Tried it for the first time 3200 mile 2016 ,A8 coup base.

7.5 seconds on the timer. Sucked

Then just put it in sport and nailed it 4.4 consistently .

Launch really didn't do Much for me.

Did a power brake in sport also and did get a little smoke. First time for that also. Just learning the ropes.

My first and really only launch control 0-60, I did a 3.9s on slightly bump road. This was a 2017 A8 Grand Sport. Very very limited wheelspin. I haven't tried to beat that on my own and probably won't unless I find a track to do this on (besides this was just before winter arrived and I switched to my winter tires).

I felt like LC did a great job considering I had a lot of gravel on my tires too and the road surface wasn't anywhere near perfect.

I tried once. Got 4.8 with lots of wheel spin and all season tires.

You should try with Launch Control next time
