porsche builds their cars for track work, so even hard driving around town is light load for them (maybe not the macan).

Hard launches are among the toughest thing you can do to an ICE car. Most cars with launch control can do a few launches and then something overheats and the car refuses to do any more for a while. A car journalist tried to launch a PDK 911 until it failed. He got bored after 50 straight launches and stopped.

Well, boredom and to commemorate the 911's 50th birthday.
