Honda’s fire-spitting lawnmower speeds to 130 mph

A Honda that can sprint from 0-60 mph in four seconds? Unless you're talking about a Honda race car, or the upcoming Acura NSX, that machine doesn't exist. So what did Honda do? They created a flame-spitting monster that achieves just that, while powering to an ultimate speed of over 130 mph. But it's not a car. Or even a motorbike. It's a lawnmower.

This is perhaps the most extreme case of overkill since the resurrection of New Kids On The Block.

How much overkill? 532 hp per ton. A 6-speed paddle shift gearbox. A custom-made Cobra racing seat. A steering wheel straight from a race car. And a Scorpion exhaust that makes the grass-cutter sound like a miniature SRT Viper. Oh, and it has the steering rack from a Morris Minor. That part's perhaps not so special.
