Not hitech enough! Can anything beat the pure class, modernity, design and aesthetic of the Indian train?

I think the ICE is the only train looking relatively decent (or at least a close second to the Indian train).

I've been on the Eurostar (through the Chunnel), the ICE, and the TGV. I think the TGV wins for the feel of effortless high-speed motion. You're sitting their reading something, look-up, and see the speed indicator clocking 300Kph and you have *no* sense of motion unless you look out the window.
(Apparently the SNCF uses eminent domain to take land for the tracks so they go very straight for very long distances.)
Sigh! I wish we had trains like this in the United States. And NO, the Amtrak Acela does not count.

One should never stop striving for clarity of thought and precision of expression.
I would prefer my humanity sullied with the tarnish of science rather than the gloss of religion.

The train isn't slow at all, it's the tracks: on most tracks (which are old), it limps along, on the latest tracks it does 300 km/h easily and you don't feel a thing. If it hadn't a built-in speedometer, you wouldn't know how fast it is.

Yep.
Record is 407 km/h; regular max speed for the ICE 3/ICE 4 trains 300 km/h - on optimised tracks, 250 km/h on most others.
Would you believe that there's actually a model line called the ICE T, though? "Ice ICE Baby" indeed...

It's really a pity there aren't enough good tracks for it, between Munich and Nuremburg, they have built new 300 km/h tracks, but on the way to Cologne/Düsseldorf, there are parts it has to slow down to 160.
