KTX-II passing at 300km/h

KTX-II passing at 300 km/h.

Some claims that KTX-2 has record test speed of 420km/h, but I was unable to verify that. other source claims the record to be 384km/h.

KTX-2 is not TGV derived.
It uses different motor, different power control, different bogie, different pantograph, different body etc.

you can actually calculate the speed of the train.

the tip of the front end and tip of the rear end passes the same spot in 2.39 seconds.

200meter x 60min x 60sec / 2.39sec = 301km/h

@simhopp nice math man.

@watchinghawk

thanks.

more precise value for the length of train is actually 201.2 meter

which increase the speed to 303km/h
