A little more perspective
Siemens describes the complete Eurostar e320 as a 400-meter train in its Velaro brochure. This entry retains that nominal manufacturer figure for the entire trainset, with both end cars included. It is not a measurement of one carriage.
The manufacturer’s dedicated e320 brochure specifies 16 cars in the full set. Measuring from the leading nose to the trailing nose therefore includes every carriage and connection. A one-car illustration would need a separate car-length source and cannot stand in for the 400-meter reference.

The original 16-car drawing is preserved without geometry edits; files are cropped to visible bounds and reduced or converted for delivery. Only Siemens’s nominal 400-meter full-train length is calibrated. Roof, pantograph and car-body heights are illustrative, not separately measured. This diagram is not a photograph or manufacturer engineering drawing.
