What is the term for a tempo that is even faster than presto?

The term that denotes a tempo even faster than presto is prestissimo. This term is used in musical notation to indicate a very fast pace, typically faster than 180 beats per minute. In the context of tempo markings, terms are organized in a hierarchy of speed. Following the order, we find that presto refers to a very fast tempo, while prestissimo pushes the speed even further, indicating a level of intensity and urgency in the music.

Vivace and allegro are both associated with lively tempos but are not as fast as presto or prestissimo. Vivace is generally marked as fast and lively, while allegro is also bright and fast, though slightly slower than vivace and far slower than prestissimo. Adagio, on the other hand, signifies a slow tempo, which further distances it from the fast tempos in question.
