Lift Off! World's Fastest Elevator Rockets Passengers Upwards at 45mph

Description

The CTF Financial Center in Guangzhou is now home to the world's fastest elevator, which can reach speeds of up to 1,200 meters per minute, or about 45 miles per hour. Japanese industrial giant Hitachi made the lift so fast that they had to design a special cabin to make sure that passenger ears wouldn't pop from the sudden changes in pressure. The lift will open for service in 2018.

    Up, up, and away! Visitors flocked to the recently opened Lotte World Tower to take the world's longest and fastest double-decker elevator, dubbed 'Sky Shuttle', in Seoul, on Wednesday. The elevator whisks passengers from the basement to the 121st-floor in one minute, at an average speed of 33 feet per second. Opened to the public in April after six years of construction, the building, which is the highest in Seoul and the fifth tallest in the world, currently holds three world records; for the world's fastest elevator, the world's tallest glass-bottomed sky walk and the world's highest observation deck. Standing at 1,820 feet tall, the tower, which is said to redefine Seoul's skyline, is nearly a thousand feet above the city's next highest building, the International Finance Centre Office Tower. The double-decker Sky Shuttle, which is basically two elevator cabins stacked on top of each other, can hold a maximum of 52 passengers at one time and connects the ground floor of the Lotte Tower directly with the observation deck. The inside of the cabins keep visitors entertained with 15 separated OLED TV screens, which show breathtaking scenes of the South Korean capital for the short ride. How would you like to zoom to the 121st floor in just 60 seconds?

    Rarely has a Kia model been so eagerly awaited as the EV6 GT, the brand's most powerful production model to date, which combines the driving dynamics of a super sports car with crossover and grand tourer qualities. And the victory of the EV6 in the vote for Europe's "Car of the Year 2022" has increased the number of prospective buyers who have been able to reserve the crossover athlete in advance since the EV6 world premiere in March 2021. With the result that temporarily no further reservations were accepted. That's changing now: Kia has now announced the equipment details and the final price of the EV6 GT and thus officially started sales. Customers can now order the 430 kW (585 PS) strong Stromer again. The basic price of the Kia EV6 GT, which is fully equipped as standard, is 69,990 euros and is reduced in accordance with the subsidy regulations applicable at the time of registration. The 7-year manufacturer's guarantee includes the drive battery. This means that the EV6 GT has one of the most comprehensive manufacturer warranties for electric cars in Europe. Production will start in September, and the first deliveries of pre-orders to European customers are planned for the end of the year.
