Anyway, boring at first, but if you will FF untill 3:54 or so, untill 4:15 I think, you can see some high-speed (500 kmh) passing bys.. very cool!

That's certainly impressive speed, but I think I'd still prefer the Veyron. I have a sneaking suspicion the train wouldn't handle very well :P

hah.. awesome post. I always knew of these maglev trains but didnt actually know if they were in use.

a Veyron could probably out accellerate it to 200mph but obviously would stop at 250 where the train has another 50mph to reach..

Those outside shots are pretty cool. I've been on the Chinese version from Shanghai to Pudong airport, whilst I was there summer 2004. Was 'only' 430 kph, but still rather impressive. Much more bumpy than you would think.
