Just a regular lawnmower? Think again.

As the video above explains, Honda's newest lawnmower sports a 1000cc motorcycle engine, which means this machine has the capacity to reach 130 mph, and can go from 0-60 in just four seconds.

Capable of roaring at an ear-splitting 130 decibels, Honda has decided to aptly christen this beast the Mean Mower.

However, the powerful engine isn't the only thing that's new. The tractor’s suspension is taken from an ATV.

Nonetheless, Honda has put an emphasis on retaining as much of the lawnmower's original look as possible, with the grass bag concealing a fuel-tank, high-capacity oil cooler and a secondary radiator.

Despite all the impressive power, the lawnmower still effectively does what it was designed to do: cut grass. Thanks to two electric motors, the Mean Mower will cut grass at up to 15 mph. This is reportedly twice the speed of Honda's regular models.
