Since its still Friday where I am, here's a couple of fast front ends from a trip my wife and I took to Italy last May (about which I posted a short description on OGR last June). These front ends look fast, even when standing still. The first is Alstom's ETR-675 for the private rail Italo, which we rode from Rome to Venice.
The second is Bombardier's ETR1000, the "red arrow" built for the state railway Trenitalia
which we rode from Venice to Florence.
