Actually: no. I must have remembered the numbers for an earlier prototype, which was rather short and slower. But here some ad-hoc numbers for roughly comparable-capacity trains: the currently crashed TR-08 prototype, a five-car train, needs 4,573 kW to travel at a constant speed of 300 km/h on flat terrain. For an ICE-3 high-speed train, the corresponding value is a bit under 6000 kW. *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
Should have been: a bit under 6400 kW. *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
