The Talent 2 represents an electric multiple unit manufactured by Bombardier Transportation, with its production commencing in 2008 and entering operational service in 2011 under Deutsche Bahn. While it carries the same designation as the initial Talent—which was originally engineered by Waggonfabrik Talbot—the Talent 2 exhibits distinct technical differences aside from its curved sides and doorframe design. Its cab, engineered with enhanced crash safety features, has led to the nickname "Hamsterbacke" (Hamster Cheeks). The subsequent model, the Talent 3, follows the Talent 2.
