Just got my V6S Coupe

<blockquote>Forget the book on using launch control. Ensure you are in sport and dynamic, then simply pull and hold the up shift paddle for around two seconds and the car will go into 'race mode'. S will be displayed on the dash board, the car will be in launch mode. You can put the car in this mode at any speed whilst you are driving. <br>For extra confidence at the lights. Select first and then pull the up shift paddle. The car will select second and then go back into first. <br>'Race mode' as I have coined it will select the most appropriate gear to keep the car on the boil. It will come down the box as quickly as you brake too. As soon as you change gear manually it returns to normal manual mode. <br>This procedure also works on my XFR as well as my 3.0 S Roadster, (although there's no launch mode on V8s with electronic diffs)<br>You won't find this one in the manual and your dealer probably won't know this functionality is bust in.<br><br>"Don't run with the crowd, drive a Jaguar"</blockquote>

Although I have no experience of the AWD 3.0 FType, I suspect that as the V8 doesn't have launch control then the 3.0 certainly wouldn't need it. Jaguar have relied on the traction four wheels present and the clever AWD system which directs power to whichever corner needs it.
