Default Launch control?

Does the A7 actually have this?

I tried what I read. Disable stability control, put in dynamic mode etc... What am I missing?

Kinda what I thought, but saw videos of people online doing it with other A7s. Probably not US cars.
Can this be enabled via vagcom?

You need DSG Transmission for that

Only available on S7 here in North America

pop the gear into S drive. turn off stability control. lightly step and hold onto the breaks(do not step on the brakes like you are at a dead stop) and floor the gas. The rev will hang at a certain RPM and let go of the brake. you should be able to launch the car.

Otherwise known as launch control "lite". Not the real thing as found on the S6/7.
