Max speed is 210 kph (record 276 kph under test) and this was built between 1989-1998. Leaning carriage like the Pendolino. There have been thoughts to increase the max speed to 220 or 250 but it's is to expensive (changing engines and boggies). New train will release this in the near future (see link).
