Honda has taken the art of lawn mowing to a cut above - or should that be lower - the rest with its just revealed "Project Mean Mower".
The company's UK branch believes they have created the world's fastest lawn mower in a joint venture project with their British Touring Car Championship partner, Team Dynamics.
A condition of the design brief was that the mower had to retain its original look and still cut grass.
The net result is a mind-blowing mower with an estimated top speed of 210kmh and a 0-100kmh time of a shade over four seconds.
Make sure you wear your earmuffs though as the 1000cc engine from a Honda VTR Firestorm puts out an ear-splitting 130 decibels.
