On Tuesday I will go to Yamanashi with my class and make a test drive with the MLX01-2. That maglev is a prototype and already the fastest land vehicle ever build. It´s current record is 581 km/h or 361mph. It is suppossed to be the sucessor of our Shinkansen System and its
max. velocity is in the same range as a civil airplane.

In the video here you see some impressions of it and you also see how it speeds up from zero to half the speed of sound within a minute. Something that no plane can do.

It is a real unique design, since it is a hybrid between a meglev, plane and a real train. It uses wheels like evry train but when it reached a certain velocity, the wheels are pulled upwards like in a plane and the train kicks on the magnetic field and levitates.

deff doesnt speed up faster then any plane

That would not be the fastest "land vehicle ever built".

The JR-MLX01-2 can go much faster than that. The problem is, that the test track is only 18 km long at the moment. So 581 km/h is the current maximal velocity on that track. If the track is build longer, like 50 miles, the train could achieve 1200 km/h. But that would never be used in public service.

Still an incorrect statement. 750+ miles an hour has been achieved with a wheel driven vehicle. You say the train could...but that has yet to actually happen. The train is still not the "fastest land vehicle built".

It is, since it is technical able to surpass anything existing. The track is too short yet to reach maximum speed.

So therefore it is not the "fastest land vehicle". Technically and actually are two different things. So until this train is clocked at over mach 1.03 then I dont think it qualifies as the "fastest land vehicle".
