  • By the moment the video indicates 50km/h, it's obvious that it's not !! look at the speed... cars in the city goes faster than 50km/h, and do you think that cars in the city goes faster than the speed that seems in the video??

  • This clip is a total fake in all category

    The maglev is operational, the TGV is not. The TGV operational top speed is 380km/h, the TR-Shanghai record run is 505km/h, not 430

    The TGV is rebuilt from a standard 9kw to 19kw experimental, the TR-Shanghai is all standard

    TGV have 5 engines, no cars, TR-S have 6 standard cars

    TGV have 160km track, TR-s have 30

    TGV run downhill, TR-s run flatt

    TGV clip is speed up, the actual time for 500-574km/h was 3 minutes, not 20 seconds as in the clip

  • the maglev can go much faster-in japan it went up to 581km/h

  • its a stupid, to compare these two accelerations. the french test-train was burned out at this ride, the maglev have to accelerat comfortably for the passengers thousands of times a year ...why u dont compare, how the trains still work after reaching their destination? would be more interesting ... lol ... or lets show how long the tgv can hold a max-speed of 500 kph

  • @lickkkme69nyc that makes no sense

  • @pelamor1 Obviously you did because you had to make sure your comment was known...

  • @lickkkme69nyc no one cares

  • Look up the "ET3" project... it features intercontinental travel... it only requires money last I checked.

  • i admire the technology of other countries! i think its great advance in travel due to population growths. Its keeps things moving at a better speed while making traveling convenient and reliable! I love the US but there still many things that the US has yet to adapt and learn from other Countries. But at the same time Countries can do so because the landscaping is different! Again i admire other countries for taking leaps and pushing technology to breaking grounds. Catch up US..OMG CATCH UP

  • What is the point to say this?

    If it wasn t for the french you would be singing "god save the queen", see? it s easy!

    Have a nice day.
