In my mind it´s huge jump to raise red line 7000rpm to ~7800-7900rpm, that reveal in my mind that there will be bigger crank and rod bearings(like S54), watercooled IC, differend cams to allow peak power higher rpm´s, maybe forged pistons and cylinder head which flow better, but we will see, that just speculation.
