I suspect that the next Cayman facelifted will be 3.6 L 325 hp (taking the current base) DSG and the same for boxsters and the TURBO will also get a super boost.
DSG traditionally on AUDI and VW is always faster (correct me if I am wrong) than even the manual and it can assist the laymen in coming close to or even better than a pro driving stick (tip s on turbo faster than manual and 7G tronic on SLK faster than manual) and I think the next Cayman S facelifted will have a DSG with 325 hp 3.6L and it will be 0-60 in 5.1 s DSG (shave 1 s off the current 6.1 s time).
I think this has all been carefully planned as the 911s and Boxsters and Caymans are all slow compared to the competitions like M3 SMG and AUDI's DSG but with the rollout of the DSG, the new generations lineup across the board will have at least 1 s improvement even faster than manual and boxsters and caymans will be around 5.0 s and 5.3 s (which is what current tip 911 and manual can do) and all 911s even the base will be around 4.5 s (base 4.5 Carrera S 4.1 s) and turbos will be very close to 3.0 s flat to 3.5 s. The new generation is gonna be very fast making the current lineups look almost obsolete in terms of performance by comparisons.
I really think that the DSG (usually much faster than even manual) will shave at least 1 second off the 6.3 s tiptronic time for 987s and all 911s will be sub 5 s DSG.
Good stuff comes to those who wait and Porsche saves the best for last and it is probably one of the last to introduce this anyway since AUDI already had it a long time ago not to mention BM's SMG.
Guess hail the DSG and we will see the demise of tiptronic s finally. It's about time anyway.

I'm just curious where you get your info. I can't believe anytime soon that porsche is going to up the ante that much on the Cayman and certainly not the turbo, with the obvious exception of the power kit. That's just not how they market their products.
DSG/PDK will improve performance, however, it probably will not be substantial when compared to the turbo's current tip setup in regards to acceleration times.
