@Jespu V8?? The engine is a 4cyl Cosworth engine, not a V8...

@PirateSygnal Its launch controll systems rev limiter to keep engine at optimal torque and to get best possible boost pressure from turbo at launch.

@SunriseBackflip Ford just invested. The real power is the English Cosworth Engine.

@mastertweeker Car is idling at 0:30 and it sound normal race cam. BUT they are talking about 0:46 where driver gets to launch control (rev limiter) so he is already building boost with half throttle. When start is near he puts pedal to the medal and car goes to higher rpm launch control to get max boost for take off. 2 stage launch control is because he can get maximun boost faster when there is already some boost coming + when he is lining up he don't want max boost to blow up engine.
