It has four wheels, a racing seat and can reach an estimated 130 mph and Honda calls it the Mean Mower. Powered by a 109-hp V-twin 1.0-liter motorcycle engine borrowed from the Honda Super Hawk, the one-off screams from 0-60 mph in four seconds. For some perspective, that’s only a hair slower than the 5.5-liter biturbo V8 S63 AMG Mercedes unveiled earlier today. It’s also still able to cut your grass at up to 15 mph.

The tractor was re-engineered to be stiffer and lighter to optimize performance, while the grass bag disappears to make room for a fuel tank, a high capacity oil cooler and a secondary water cooling radiator. In total, the toy weighs a little over 308 lbs.

Unfortunately, the-one off lives in the U.K. Maybe next year it will inspire a race at Goodwood…

High-speed mowing enthusiasts in the U.S. will have to settle for the mundane Husqvarna “Fast Tractor” that tops out at 8 mph.
