A TGV movie running at a speed approaching the world's fastest linear motor car



Currently, the world's highest speed of the railroad is 581 km / h, which the Japanese linear motor car recorded in 2003. I can tell how great the speed is when considering that the maximum speed in commercial operation of Shinkansen is 260 km / h (Nagano Shinkansen or Kyushu Shinkansen) 300 km (Sanyo Shinkansen), but the train running on the track There is a record approaching that speed as much as possible. It was 574.8 km / h, which was recorded by TGV in France in April 2007, and it has not reached the record of the linear motor car by another 6.2 km / h.

The movie that challenged this record is from the following.
YouTube - tgv speed record at 574.8 kmh - 357.16 mph


About 3 minutes and 16 seconds from the start of the movie, when passing through under the bridge over which the mass media will be waiting for, it has achieved a maximum speed of 574.8 km / hour. The sacrifice to exert performance as good as a floating type (linear motor car) with a non-floating type railroad seems to be large, and when challenging the recording of 515 km / h, the railroad became rattled after the vehicle passed is. By the way, since the maximum operating speed is 320 km, there is no effect on the track.

B-Rail: TGV has issued 574.8 km / h!
