The Hitachi G1 Tower Will Test World's Fastest Elevator

If you worked at the Hitachi G1 Tower, I'm sure one day will be enough to satisfy your need for speed. Roller coasters? Easy as pie. A formula 1 race car ride? You could do it sleeping. The world's fastest elevator? Now that's a ride.

The Hitachi G1 Tower will be home to an elevator research facility that will be doing just that -- testing the fastest elevator. With a top speed of 3,500 feet per minute, that's pretty darn fast.
