Porsche: Launching dual clutch gearbox

Porsche is now following Audi's and VW's footsteps and will offer a dual clutch gearbox, called PDK.

Gear changes will be activated via F1-style paddles behind the steering wheel that control two separate clutches, one for the odd numbered gears and the other for the even ones.

There’s no word on when it will first appear on the market or for which vehicles, but considering acceleration will most likely be quicker than regular manual boxes we suspect most of the lineup will get the double-clutch option.
