Actually, the Germans did quite a little re-engineering of bridges, track etc to raise the height some time ago in places. Not sure about the Austrian OBB though as the new train shown belongs to.
One thing to notice though is that all the req'd height doesn't seem to have been gained at the top! Look where the steps are for the double sliding doors...

Ground level! Added to which...the pantographs are mounted at a point on the roof which is lower, So I'd like to see just how much taller, if any, that they are?
