This TGV 001 was a five-car trainset which possessed four gas-turbine engines with a total output of 6,500 hp (4,800 kW) and all axles motored. This train was extensively tested over more than 34,000 miles (55,000 km) running at over 200 km/h (120 mph), of which almost half

trainsets were manufactured for SNCF service. These trains were equipped with one 820 kW (1,100 hp) Turmo IIIF1 gas turbine in the even-numbered cabs and one Turmo XII 1,200 kW (1,600 hp) gas turbine in the odd-numbered cabs, reaching 160 km/h (99 mph). Normally, the
