My previous cayman s had the launch control function, which I tried out only once.

It's been a while so I thought I'd treat myself to some launching in my new boxster 981 s.

Felt a bit of a prune as I did all the right things (from memory)

Sport plus on - check
Brake on hard - check
Throttle down fully - check
Foot off brake - check

So it just made a kinda stalling sound for a few seconds like a car that had been fed too much choke on start up.

Then it happened, whoosh, cheeks flapping and full on rocket launch.

Not sure what went wrong or if nothing went wrong and that was part of the launch experience but my son seemed quite pleased with it all.

At least enough to tell Mrs wilpert about what dad did in the car on the a113 and how dad said don't tell mum.

Never work with kids or animals 😳
