Do super/hypercars with insane amounts of torque not lunge forwards after lifting off the brakes while in D and not on the gas?

Question

For example, a regular grocery-getter with enough torque just to get around simply rolls off when in D and at minimum revs.

Why do super or hypercars not just take off when the same is done? I would assume that the amount of torque at the same rev range would be significantly higher for example in an Agera versus an Accord.

Answer 1

First, idling an engine is not producing *that* much power – just enough for keeping the air conditioner going and electrical systems powered. Second, the transmission, be it a torque converter or dual clutch, modulates the amount of torque transmitted from the engine to the drivetrain to allow the car to creep at a normal speed.
