Hyperloop Hits Speed Three Times Faster Than May Test [Video]

After the lackluster first-run left speed junkies wanting more, Hyperloop One delivered in their second phase of testing. The run took place at the company’s DevLoop Tube north of Las Vegas in the Nevada Desert, where the XP-1 pod achieved far greater distances and speeds than the initial test in May.

At a distance of 1,433 feet the XP-1 traveled 4.5 times further and using that extra distance to hit a top speed of 190mph, three times greater than May. While the tube still hasn’t matched the 250mph top speed range of the top production cars, it has crushed highway speed limits. However, the Hyperloop One team maintains that with another 2000 meters the XP-1 would have hit 700mph.
