The problem for higher speeds aren't the trains but the rails. There are just a few tracks were the ICEs can even hit 300 km/h
So even if these speeds were practical during normal operation, we'd need significant investments into the track infrastructure first and right now we don't even get enough investments into the track infrastructure to fix the coverage and punctuality.
