4-car I could maybe understand, but 3-car? Both types, like the 380s, have the same power outputs in both versions and 8 traction motors (four per driving car).
From a post by 380101 back in September:
technically a 7car 380 should be quicker off the blocks than a 7car 385 as the 3 car set on the 380 has 4 powered bogies (8 powered axles) whilst the 3 car 385 only has 3 powered bogies (6 powered axles) to save a measly 1.5tons in weight!!!
