Honda's custom "Mean Mower" has become the world's official fastest lawnmower with a top speed of 116.57 mph.

The lawnmower, which is powered by a 1.0-liter engine from a Honda motorcycle, is also fitted with a six-speed transmission, racing seat and high performance ATV tires, Fox News reported.

The machine also has a steering rack from a Morris Minor automobile and a fiberglass cutting deck to reduce weight.

However, the machine doesn't quite cut grass that fast and the blade is powered by electric motors that allows it to go upto 15mph, which is still twice the consumer version's speed.
