I’ll bet most of the cars listed as launch editions were mistakenly or plain wrongly clicked from a drop down menu by whoever was inputting the data.
Literally the only launch cars should be early 2013 dealer registered cars lacking the radar. They weren’t all basic spec either as bigger dealers got a selection of vehicles with different specs and gearboxes. They’ll have a higher insurance rating than later customer order cars.
There were no launch edition 7.5 cars, VW cleared the last of the mk7 production run cars with a Xmas promotion in 2016 and the last cars were delivered in March 2017 on a 17 plate, any non allocated cars were dealer registered in March/April before the first 7.5’s rolled off the ferries shortly afterwards.
