Velaro E unit 16, consisting of the cars 96 71 9-103 616-9 (Turista), 90 71 7-103 316-6 (Preferente) and 96 71 9-103 216-8 (Club). The first delivered units had a blue stripe according to the Grandes Lineas livery until last year; this appears to be the definitive "Pantone" livery. I'm not sure if any units will go into regular service with a blue stripe (even though there was a märklin model with blue stripe ....) The regular units have 8 cars, including one Club, two Preferente, one Bar and four Turista cars. Innotrans 2006, Berlin.
