Yep, same way we've always been getting more power with the same redline in place.  The exhausts and fuel systems and intercoolers are all about getting that extra boost out faster or keeping it cool/balancing out the mixture in the chamber.

Further leaks have just appeared showing engine assembly line

Specs are even higher than earlier reported!  They appear to have done away with the Barra though, not sure I agree with that move.  It will however end the power war with HSV.

6hp26 is rated to 600nm and manufacters usually stay on the conservative side with their ratings. they are well in the safe zone at 576, after market has seen them take a fair bit more, 350rwkw is about the max reliable figure for a stock box, so that's what, 380ish fly wheel. All with the same limiter, these engi es peak before the limiter anyway...

Cat's out of the bag:

"The XR6 Sprint turns the wick up on the XR6 Turbo’s 4.0-litre inline six to produce 325kW/576Nm, making it the torquiest car ever produced in Australia, a title it holds by the slimmest of margins over the 345kW/575Nm XR8 Sprint.

Rounding out the mechanical package is the suspension tune and wheel and tyre combination from the current XR8, however both models benefit from what was previously the FPV Premium brake option, comprising six-piston front and four-piston rear brake calipers.

 

Australian Sprint production will be limited to 1400 units – 550 XR6 Sprints and 850 XR8s – with a further 150 cars going to New Zealand made up of 50 XR6s and 100 XR8s.

Available as a six-speed automatic only, the XR6 Sprint costs $54,990 while a manual XR8 Sprint will set you back $59,990 and the auto a further $2200.

To differentiate them visually from the regular XR variants, the Sprint models receive 19-inch black wheels, gold brake calipers, black headlamp bezels, a new black rear spoiler and new front foglamp surrounds, while the XR8 Sprint adds a black roof and wing mirrors.

Six colours will be offered, Winter White, Smoke, Aero Blue, Silhouette, Kinetic and Victory Gold, though any colour other than white will cost an extra $500."

Hmmmm, an XR6T Sprint in Smoke would be pretty cool...
