Launch Control

A Launch control system is utilized in high performance production and racing cars to enable the fastest launch possible given the road conditions and allows novice drivers to launch as fast as an experienced driver. Examples of production vehicles with launch control include the Chevrolet Corvette C6 ZR1, Ferarri 599 Fiorano, and up until recently, the Nissan GT-R.
