First of all the video is great and so looks the car! But I was wondering does the cupra with DSG have Launch Control? You wrote that the ESP can be turned off, so after you do that what happens if you put the lever in S or D manual while pressing the brake pedal, then rev up to some rpm and finally release the brakes? The method described above is the way LC works in the 6 speed DSG but does it work the same way with the 7 speed DSG, another way or there is no way you can have LC?

According to a new FR owner in our club, this does not work. There is a discussion currently ongoing about this on our forums. Head on over to our forums (see description) and search for 'launch control'

i really like this car. I want to know more about its handling though cause im very dissapointed that the ESP is non-disengegable. If it wont allow you move the tail a bit it can't be good. Better oversteer than understeer. I think it will be the fastest of all the hot hatches though. OPC is not that fast for nearly 200 hp and 207 RC has much longer ratio, and a manual offcourse. It also sounds very very good. It doesn's sound like a turbo to be honest and it seems to have much power high

The ESP can actually be switched off. The button is located in the same position as the standard MK5 Ibiza, down by the gear lever. So you can get a little more play from it!

As far as the noise is concerned, the turbo and supercharger work in unison to create a seamless power band through the revs. You cannot hear when the turbo or supercharger starts or finishes. It's astonishing!
