    Do Enzos have launch control? If not American ones, do European models have LC?

    No, I don't think so. I just scanned through the owners manual and I couldn't find one.

    EDIT: My manual is for a US Enzo.

    I'm not sure why you would need it unless you are going to take it to the drag strip.
    The only Ferrari in the US that does have Launch Control is the Challenge Stradale.

    Why wouldnt they include that feature ? How can hope for 0-60mph if you cant "drop the clutch" so to speak. Without this ability its almost an automatic :p

    LOL...!!!

    Is yours digital or do you have an actual, physical copy, to hold in your hand and sleep with at night...?

    i don't know much about launch control, but i never heard of any Enzos having it...

    It does have a "Track Start Assist" (the real name for Launch Control), but it doesn't have a LC button.

    In "Race" mode and with "ASR" disengaged you press down on the accelerator very rapidly, down to the stroke limit and the departure will be a "Performance start".

    Do not "rev the engine" during departures.
