fatest elevator in the world is as fast as bullet

The CTF building currently under construction in Guangzhou, southern China, will have 111 floors above ground containing apartments, hotel space and offices. But that’s not the impressive part. Hitachi plans to build two elevators in the new building that can zip from the first floor to the 95th in 43 seconds.

This speed — essentially 45 miles per hour — would make them the fastest elevators in the world, according to the BBC’s Dave Lee. Currently the speed record is held by Taipei 101, which has an elevator that can go 37.65 miles per hour, launching passengers from the fifth floor to the 89th in 37 seconds.

If you need to get to the top floor in a hurry, Hitachi will have you covered. The company plans to build the world’s fastest elevators for a new skyscraper in China.
