The newly debuted NextGen Acela trains will run with a top speed of 160 mph, out-speeding the previous Acela fleet by 10 mph.

Eight years in the making, the pencil-shaped supersonic car is billed as faster than a speeding bullet.

With a top speed of 150 mph, according to Amtrak, the Acela is indeed the fastest train currently running in the USA.

The train is eventually expected to reach 621 mph (1,000 km/h), meaning you could get from Shenzhen to Shanghai in just over an hour.

The fastest train line in the United States, Amtrak's Acela line, can travel at 150 mph (241 km/h), but Acela's average speed is closer to 80 mph (129 km/h) because of local speed limits.
