They actually planned to go with DSG in TT back in 2006, but failed to do so.

No word on when Porsche plans to introduce the new transmission.

Sooner or later, they'll bring it!

To the best of my knowledge, Porsche (with Sachs) had the first application of a double clutch manual transmission in their 956/962 sports prototype race cars. They called it PDK, which should stand for Porsche Doppel Kuplung (as opposed to Double Klutch as indicated in the article).

The first time I had heard them mention it again was in relation to a Boxster RS model, shortly after they had launched the original Boxster S, which clearly never happened. They have been caught sleeping on this one!
