Meanwhile in 'merica, we have the Apocalypse Hellfire (actual name!)…
I’m relieved to see that the Mad Max future we were promised is still on track. :)
I’ve been preparing for Valhalla, shiny and chrome!
You aren’t truly free if you don’t have the ability to burn a gallon of gas for every mile you drive and run over cyclists like a kid stomping on ants.

This reminds me of the Call of Duty Black Ops edition Jeep on the road the other day. Felt completely surreal.
At this rate, the Chinese are just dunking on us.
What is the price and efficiency of these vs maglev trains? As I understand, maglevs can already surpass 400kph.
I just kind of assumed that it was a maglev.
No, highspeed trains are tradition trains using wheels. They just go really fast but start to hit a hard cap around 400kph where wind resistance becomes so great that it becomes harder and harder to overcome. Maglevs on the other hand are far more efficient at extreme speeds. Maglevs can get up to like 500+kph now.
Makes sense, I guess maglevs need whole new infrastructure build for them too which takes some time.
It looks sick
