The fastest elevator in the world is in Taipei. It moves at 38 miles per hour. But it looks like that record will be blown away in 2016. Hitachi plans to build an advanced passenger elevator in the Guangzhou CTF Finance Centre, a skyscraper in Guangzhou, China that is 580 yards tall. Hitachi, which has been building high-speed elevators since 1968, promises that this one will move 45 miles per hour.
