Tgv Speed Record at 574.8kmh - 357.16mph

this world record was made with same engine than an everyday tgv plus an AGV engine.
more voltage and bigger wheels too..but that s all not an incredible modification! the new AGV motor can run at 574.8kmph with no problem...rendez vous for the next record with the AGV...

speack about your rusty train and shut up!
this record is the proof that tgv is the safest train,can attempt speed like that with no problem..not just boost engine but have the control of the train at this speed is a real record and good information record for the next generation of line and train

The tgv work everyday with all his engine like every fast train..2nd= the tgv can broke the 600kmph but not for everyday use...we are talking about 360-380kmph in everyday use in the next 10years... this type of record permit to be sure of the safety of the train and think about the futur line conception! a tgv runing at 574kmph with no problem can run esaily at 360kmph.

I love listening to the French! The bridge footage was insane! It would S**k to be a hobo walking on the track!

I would like to ask something...

1)When the v150 did that record,it did it with one engine working or with both??

2)Do you believe that in the future we will be able to see from the tgv speeds like 600km/h??

3)Would be reliable for tgv's engine to travel with 500+km/h for over 500km distance for example???

Laisse les avec leur Maglev,ils y croient...tant mieux pour eux....y a pas mieux que le tgv.

made in France, powered by Ferrari

the rear view looks insane!

Not true, the aim is not to upgrade these trains to these kinds of speeds, but that doesn't mean the experiments are useless. A lot of valuable data for future construction improvements on both rolling stock and right of way have been gathered during this kind of test runs. The fact that you get a bit of positive media coverage obviously doesn't hurt, but it's NOT the main reason for pursuing these runs.

N'ont jamais voyagé dans un train à sustentation magnétique? Lequel des deux est le meilleur?
574 km Wow! c'est l'avenir, sans l'ombre d'un doute.!

Extrem high voltage, special sharpened tracks and many non-serial modificatons, which never could be realized in a serial-model (waste of energy, short life endurance, highly ineconomic operation) are the contrary of what public traffic nowadays needs. This model is not compareable with modern serial-trains, it's more like old rocket-cars in the Fifties.

It was useless. Today Germany bought new ICE-Velaros, the fastest serial-trains of the world, from Siemen (Germany).

If the french are clever, they also will buy ICE-Velaro, because their own prototype is years behind and still needs until 2015 to get ready.

c'est dingue de se dire que sur rail on arrive à 574kmh alors que en levitation magnetique on arrive à 581kmh soit seulement 7kmh de plus
Ya rien à dire la france est à la pointe de la technologie sur rail! quesque ça va etre quand on va passer au magnetique!

this is fastest system than japanese shinkansen..funny if it s older! lol

this is older system compare with japanese shinkansen.
