Can the Audi Q5L perform a launch start?

Audi Q5L can perform a launch start. Definition of launch start: A launch start means adjusting the engine speed to the maximum torque output platform using the transmission during startup, so that the engine starts to output maximum torque at the moment of starting, achieving optimal acceleration. A launch start is considered a traffic violation and will result in corresponding fines and deduction of driving license points. Precautions for launch start: Attempt it on closed roads or race tracks; Before performing a launch start, ensure that the engine coolant temperature, oil temperature, and transmission oil temperature reach normal levels; Allow at least 15 minutes for the transmission to cool down between two launch starts.
I've studied the driving system of the Audi Q5L, and the high-end models are indeed capable of performing launch control. Key hardware foundations include the 7-speed dual-clutch transmission and quattro all-wheel-drive system found in the 45 TFSI version. The procedure is quite straightforward: first switch to dynamic mode and engage S gear, turn off ESC, press the brake pedal fully with your left foot, floor the accelerator with your right foot to build up revs to around 3000 rpm, then release the brake abruptly to launch. However, I recommend trying this only in closed areas as it's too dangerous on public roads. During launch, the all-wheel-drive system prevents significant wheel spin, and Audi claims the 0-100 km/h acceleration can be achieved in under 6 seconds. But be aware that frequent launch control accelerates clutch wear, so it's best to let the transmission rest for a few minutes after each session.
