Cassette Transmissions

Here's a tough one for all lovers of Porsches and motorcycles:

Why has Porsche never done a sequential cassette trasnmission, similar to what motorcycles have?

The advantages are manifold, and yet the PDK is not a real cassette; it is really more of an automatic transmission with a manual, sequential, operation.

The only downside I can think of is that you have to downshift sequentially, while still moving (otherwise you can't easily downshift).

Warren, John, Grady?
