574.8 km/h !! New TGV speed record 4/2007

[gazzxr]

Come on people 600kph .... 600kph anyone?

[raximbek]

Japanese never go faster by true rail train like French TGV. Great respect France!!!!!! TGV est manifique.

[MrKawataka]

すごいです!!!

574.8 km/h は信じられません。

ＴＧＶはこの速度で営業運転されているのですか？

[MrKawataka]

驚異です！

車輪式で574.8 km/h も出せるなんて信じられません。

日本の新幹線よりもかなり速く、びっくりしています。周りは田園­でこのくらいの速度を出しても十分大丈夫だと思います。周りの風­景がとても綺麗で、うらやましいです。

ぜひフランスに行って乗ってみたいです。

that got to be dangerous just don't fall of the bridge and get hit by that train at 1:41

[sideslide23]

the early TGV used to be powerd by jet fuel and had Jet turbine, but now there electrified.

[Fredelatorsion]

@sideslide23 You're perfectly right. The train you mentioned set a speed of 318 km/h on dec. 8th 1972.

In the 1976 the TGV 001 was ready for commercial use, but Alstom and SNCF changed project because of the 1973 oil shock ; studies began again with electric powered machines.

[xXxlllManHacklllxXx]

I've been once in the TGV cabine. The acceleration is impressive and at 300km/h you see smashed little rain drops :)

[tonitoni53]

Maglev is not a train but magnetic sustentaion engine

TGV is a true train with trues rails

[Inspadave]

... but this particular trainset is not a true TGV. Supercharged locomotives, and larger wheels on a section of track prepared just for this event. What the Frogs don't mention is the damage to the train and the track after this run.

[darkalligator]

japanese train 581 km/h world record.

[lepivert]

That's right, but is it on railroad or on maglev system ?

[plaiskool]

vous êtes collé au siège....trop conne la meuf...

[psychobus280]

And where this oneself to rush, for what, I will so to travel, in silence and quiet, Polish EN57 to admire for window views, you do not know what even then to go pleasure EN57

[Kudel12]

lol EN57 is far away from quiet :D

[Asukapride]

This French train screamed XD

Is it safe? Anyway good video :)

[lindand]

Eh... not if anything goes wrong :-)

[dedalan]

the TGV shows the progress of railway of the world not only in france

[Kondosofias]

1:41 lol

[rattengesicht22]

Quite impressive. But for commercial purposes useless. If trains are going faster than 300 km/h they just need too much energy, so it gets too expensive. Only the German Transrapid or the Japanese Maglev, which uses a magnetic levitation system, could go something like 500 km/h and be still energy-efficient.

The French just did break the record for marketing purposes...

[Bossy4692]

They did it for marketing porpouses, because they wanted to prove that they have the fastest rail train in the world. So far the Jap Maglev is heaving trouble with build price because it costs twice as much to make a high-speed rail track than it costs to make a Maglev track.

[jeh14]

And you have to build that Maglev track *everywhere*. A huge advantage of TGV is that in the last few miles, when high speed isn't practical anyway, it can roll on unimproved track - right into the _gare_ you already have in the center of town. With maglev you'll be building new stations and probably putting them miles outside of town (because there's no place left to lay maglev tracks closer in); getting to them will be just as bad as getting to the airport.

Love the sound at 1:41!! Go AGV!

[hr2trl]

jealous! jealous! ratface is jealous!

[rannek80]

si ma a farli così i record di velocità siamo bravi anche in italia!

Prima di tutto il TGV era cortissimo, secondo non c'erano passeggeri, terzo il treno all'interno era vuoto, quarto era modificato dal punto di vista dei motori cioè hanno montato il NOS! HH...

Noi facciamo 360 KM/H ma con treni in servizio ordinario e lunghi 9 vetture!

Comunque spettacolare il video e 560 KM/H non sono pochi....

[hapticz]

require fast chase aeroplane to capture the video!  incredible!

[zampognacontenta]

tgv rulez....

[BulinYou]

Boring In Romania We have Faster Train in normal drvie they go with 60-70 km/h,and in some spot even 80 km/h :)

[MITKO1BG]

this is in France ... there is times better than the balkan countries

[mlodystudent]

ale ty jestes kurwa glupi czlowieku

[MITKO1BG]

write in english maa faka

[MITKO1BG]

that is slow

[rampagerampage]

Bucuresti- Constanta 250km in 5-6 hours i just love it

[tiomax80]

Vive la SNCF, nous sommes les meilleurs au monde !!!

[simonbaber]

Well the French know how to make a train go!! Fabulous! Well done - shame you crashed concorde!!

[rem0192]

Magnigique! Nous avons les meilleurs trains du monde!
