The manufacturer of the TGV, Alstom, also built the AGV, a self motorized high-speed train with no proper locomotive (and even tho it isn't really a MU, it can run by couples). (And also the TGV is run at 320kmh in operationnal service, with locomotives.)
For speed records, locomotives do better--but for operational speeds, MUs do better (judging by China)https://twitter.com/Sokow_/status/1052220401617698816 …

run by couples? I'm not sure what you mean--that sounds like standard MU operation

Yeah it's kind of an MU but only by pairs (as for the TGV)(but maybe it's only limited by the length of the train and the length of the stations)
