New Supertrain The Ferrari

New high-speed train 300 kilometers per hour for the "Ferrari on rails" with up to 460 passengers.

300 km / h fast! Italy’s new supper-train

Red Renner, “Italo” Italy’s new super-train

Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo, the president of NTV’s train operator, has really put a rocket on rails.

Unfortunately, the race car does not start by the Roman Station of skin in the direction of Florence, but further away from the nearest train station Tiburtina. I get there, one of the reporters.

On the train, you will feel immediately like in the luxury cabins on a cruise!

A gaudy spotlight in the Italian countryside. But look fast – otherwise, the projectile is already over

I go once in the third class, called Smart, which sounds fancy and I’m surprised: pure luxury even in the cheapest class, thanks to “Smart Cine”. There you can look to 19-inch screens films at an additional cost, in perfect quality.

WiFi is free. Can super chill it in the second grade “Fine,” in the cars, there are some cell phone ban, soothing tranquility prevails here.

For meetings, you can rent conference rooms in the train, at least four seats, in a separate part of the train.

The first class, the “Club” means leaves some business class on airplanes look old. The leather chair from Poltrona Frau Nobel caress the body, so you want to go on and on.

There are infinitely more space for legs and a big screen at every seat to watch movies. Pretty Italians offer of well-known chef designed menus make it in boxing, as in the plane of the seat.

The small cuttlefish with peas taste great, not just the menu at 22 € cheap. Is an additional dining car, it does not, however, a vending machine with snacks and coffee: 1.50 € for an espresso, which is by Italian standards but also very expensive.

But the train ride spaghetti is really fun! Especially, when the rage finally rolls onto the high speed line Rome-Florence. The route runs partly parallel to the highway just Rome – Florence.

Even the Porsche and Maserati seem to be on the road while the train is in a mad pace beside the highway glides by. And then I actually see on the highway and a Ferrari, who drags himself laboriously in traffic, slowed down by 130 over the road speed limit. Against Italo he has no chance of that is gone after only one hour and 17 minutes from Rome to Florence. As long as I stay in Rome, often to find a parking space.
