          Seems like he used launch control... Either:
          - He unlocked the feature
          - Its now offered as standard

          Works similar to the Golfs from the video, could not understand the (non-english) commentary underneath...

                Wrong. Option 3:
                Put the gearbox in neutral, full throttle and slam it into gear is not launch control

                      Clearly someone can afford new mechatronics units and clutch packs.... That is just stupid. But, then again, getting a good launch in a WRX STI is a brutal, brutal launch too. I'd rather subaru build quality though

                              For sure it's not a good way to threat the DSG7, but seems to be effective...!

                              Anyway, nice to see that if VW didn't provide a launch control for Polo GTI, an Italian guy invented it...!! LOL
