The new record for fastest lawnmower was set at the Dekra Lausitzring, near Dresden, Germany, on May 6th 2019. Under the watchful eye of a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS® adjudicator the Honda Mean Mower V2 averaged 0-100 mph in just 6.285 seconds

The team also took the opportunity to put Mean Mower V2 through its paces on a longer run to see what it is really capable of, recording an incredible top speed of 150.99mph.
All this while still being able to cut grass, albeit it with a 999cc four-cylinder engine taken from Honda’s high-performing CBR1000RR Fireblade SP motorcycle – producing 200bhp at 13,000rpm. A definite upgrade on the regular Honda lawnmowers.
