superfast

Beyond normal speed

Superfast means extremely fast, faster than merely fast.

The prefix intensifies rather than creates a new category: a superfast computer, a superfast delivery service.

Common in marketing and casual speech where *very fast* feels insufficient.

The superfast train connects the two cities in under an hour.
