New Narita Skyliner

It looks a little bit like a Shinkansen train, but it’s not quite as fast. It will do 99mph and get you to Narita airport from Tokyo in just 36 minutes. And when the Japanese say 36 minutes, they mean 36 minutes. Exactly. You won’t be able to ride it until sometime in 2010, but it’s going to make a lot of people’s lives a lot easier. The train is designed by Kansai Yamamoto, a leading Japanese fashion designer. See the videos and download the wallpaper at the official site. Information courtesy of Shibuya246’s tweet.
