Honda lawnmower gets new Guinness record hitting 100 mph in 6 seconds
If you need to cut your lawn fast, this mower may be for you.
The new Honda Mean Mower V2 set a Guinness World Records for fastest acceleration for a lawnmower, by averaging 0 to 100 mph in just 6.285 seconds.
The record was set May 7 at a race track in Germany by stunt driver Jess Hawkins. She also got the mower to a recorded top speed of 150.99 mph, according to the company. The record was announced this week.
Honda UK said that to get the record the mower must still “intrinsically look like a lawnmower” and still be able to cut grass, which it does.
The average riding lawnmower travels about 5 to 6 mph
