as published in The Guardian
The new Italo – the first privately operated high-speed train in Europe – is a train like no other, claims Luca Cordero di Montezemolo, chairman of Ferrari and boss of NTV, the firm challenging the state service.
He has a point. Sleeker, faster, quieter, lighter, the AGV – automotrice à grande vitesse – brings into passenger service the technology behind the train world speed record of 574.8kmph in April 2007.
