    Honda VTF Firestorm engine re-purposed

    Honda builds 210kmh fire-spitting ride-on mower

    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.
    You meet the nicest people on a Honda...
