Yea, I think its going to run at the normal speed of the other TGV lines, they just did this as a stunt.
It's a new engine though, 25,000 horsepower, be a shame not to go faster. :p

No they don't you ing twat... lol, France does.
Japan might have the fastest speed limits, but France has the fastest traditional train. Hell this thing was only 10mph under the maglev tran speed record.

they won't. they'd have to build new tracks and american rail companies don't have that kind of money.

Yea the fastest trains in the US run the Northeast corridor between DC/Baltimore and New York/Boston, and they barely reach speeds comparable to anything in Europe or Japan.
