The Talent 2 is an Electric multiple unit manufactured by Bombardier designed in 2008 and which entered service with Deutsche Bahn in 2011. It is named after a successful train (Talent), previously built by the same company, though it doesn't share technical details with that train.
The units have acquired the nickname "Hamsterbacke" (Hamster Cheeks) -[1]
