Always impressive to watch, especially during the on-site live shots from bridges and the countrysides. TGV=more than awesome.

Awesome! I wonder what actually limits the maximum speed of that thing. Is the motor power, the bearing heating, the power transfer from the lines or some other thing?

looks like its just the voltage of the overhead lines that limits it, for the world record speed runs they just cranked the voltage in the overhead lines up to 31kV instead of the usual 25kV
