Am disappointed in English speaking Spanish and German rail geeks. There's no English language Wikipedia page for whatever the Spanish or German equivalent of the flying banana is. There are articles for the original flying Banana, and the French, Japanese, and Chinese equivalents. But not what ever is used on the second largest high-speed network on the planet. Or the DB network. #BahnBubble, and train geeks. You know what needs to be done.

Probably because we have several track geometry tteins (Gleismesswagen in German) for this, some of the models seem to have dedicated pages on the German wiki too but I'm unsure if this woucd fit the English language wiki.

The most direct equivalent to the Flying Bananna seems to be the ICE-S which is linked in the Examples list of the track geometry car page too.
