The old/current version is only competitive due to the BoP rules, I think much is changed on the new car.

As you say, new gearbox, a lightened and upgraded electronics system, as well as a more aerodynamically efficient bodykit, a lightened axle system, better weight distribution and a new 2.0l engine. The car has been strengthened and should be easier for part replacements too. I'm guessing these developments will go directly into their eTCR challenger.
