Vehicle launch control driver interface

A launch control method for a vehicle having a powertrain, the launch control method comprising:

• providing a driver interface configured to display information to and receive input from a driver of the vehicle and a controller in communication with the driver interface;
• determining, by the controller, a maximum available torque curve for the powertrain based on current conditions;
• displaying, by the controller and via the driver interface, the maximum available torque curve;
• receiving, by the controller and from the driver via the driver interface, a desired launch speed for the powertrain;
• receiving, by the controller and from the driver via the driver interface, a desired torque curve for the powertrain, wherein the desired torque curve changes in response to changes to the desired launch speed;
• generating, by the controller and in response to a command via the driver interface, a final desired torque curve for the powertrain;
• and
• performing, by the controller, launch control of the vehicle by controlling the powertrain of the vehicle according to the final desired torque curve.
