I can only speak to the 3.0T, but it does allow the same brake-torque for launching as the SQ5...at least in Sport or Manual it does. Never tried in Drive

Thanks Folks God gave me two legs and feet so why waste one it might wither with disuse !! Not interested in track use , it is afterall a truck, albeit a fast one. Its actually about car control. Audi are the only manufacturer to do this although I did try it in a Toyota Prius and the regenerative brake mechanism had a minor fit. Never seen a comment from a motor noter about this either. L J K Setright of motor noter fame in CAR magazine started me on Left foot braking years ago and it works . Try It
