I have no "inside information" to share, but it looks to me that the upcoming VRX upgraded model they mentioned, has now disappeared and was aborbed into the plans of the concept Ralliart380 instead (indeed that "other model"), considering that this article was dated May '06 and a lot of things could have changed in that time.
Was there ever any word on how much that 190kW 380 model would cost? Just as an observation, a headers & full exhaust upgrade, plus chip upgrade would surely get most of that extra 15kW.

If you look on the net many websites also state the 380 is due for a scheduled update model in May / June. Whether or not this is the case I don't know.

On Drive.com.au, they slot it in for June and don't put a star next to it, meaning its meant to be confirmed so to speak.

Whether or not the 190kW 380 is part of this 380 update I don't know. From what I have heard curtain airbags are on horizon (not that you wanted them though :))
