sport / dynamic ??
I had looked in the manual (honest), clearly missed it.
Really? I went on an "F-Type Beyond Limits" session at Millbrook in 2014 and we were shown how to use launch control on the (24!) V8s there. It only works in dynamic mode, have you tried that? What does your manual say, if anything? Even the 4-pot loaner I was given had launch control.

@SCM, Spot on ! The first times you use launch control you're tend to be so impressed you forget to change up....

In the manual regarding launch control there is a fotnote saying: "Not fitted to all derivatives"
No F- type V8 has ever had this function.

As noted above, we were treated to a demonstration of the launch control on the V8s at Millbrook back in 2014. So I've driven at least one that had this function. I really must try mine to see if it works - no such footnote in my manual.Arne wrote: ↑Thu Oct 25, 2018 6:12 amIt does not.daytona650 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 24, 2018 8:21 pmI didnt think the V8 had launch control?scm wrote: ↑Wed Oct 24, 2018 3:57 pm Really?

Can it be that they mean that MANUAL versions don't have launch control ...
