RS 991:

Let's talk about the future of the PDK, all I've heard was that Porsche is working on the next generation PDK, but the only detail which was revealed is that it will no longer have seven gears... Well I guess it will be more than seven but it doesn't make sense to put more and more gears in a transmission because of the weight and there's no further usefull use for the engine power delievery.  Anyhow, the 991.2 should receive a shiftspeed improvement and hopefully a software update to hold gears in manual mode...

VW is said to have a ten speed gearbox out soon and with more stringent fuel/emission standards coming into play in the not-to-distant future, one would imagine that seven is no longer enough.
