Japanese Auto Firm, Honda has built what it claims is the world's fastest lawnmower, with a potential to reach grass-guzzling speeds of up to 130mph.

Taking up a challenge from Top Gear Magazine, Honda said that the lawnmower dubbed "Mean Mower" will chew up and spit out blades of grass with 109 horsepower, revving up and zipping out of the garage with a rather remarkable 0 to 60mph time of four seconds flat.

In order to reach such speeds over more traditional motorised lawnmowers that cruise at an average of 8-10mph, Honda has installed a 1.0 litre VTR Firestorm engine that usually features in motorcycles.
