Honda is fine-tuning the Mean Mower mk2 in a bid to reclaim the title of world's fastest lawnmower. 

Stunt driver Jess Hawkins will drive the new Mean Mower

In 2013, Honda built the original Mean Mower  which was based on a production HF2620 model. That featured a 1000-cc, 109-horsepower V-twin that came from a Honda Firestorm bike.

The new Mean Mower, which is being produced in association with Top Gear magazine still has a 1000-cc engine, but it's now a four-cylinder model taken from a current CBR1000RR Fireblade.

This means the new Mean Mower boasts 189 horsepower - which should ensure it reaches 134 mph. You can read all about it on the Top Gear website

Honda have released a teaser video to build excitement:

This time stunt driver Jess Hawkins will drive the machine, which has been built by Honda's British Touring Car Championship team.

The mower is likely to weigh just 200 kilograms. To keep all four wheels on the ground during takeoff, the engine has been fitted at the front and the team has fitted traction control and other aids to stop the mower doing wheelies.

Honda's lawnmower department has ensured the authenticity of the mower, fitting a genuine, off-the-shelf front cowl and grass catcher box.

Honda has not yet set a date for the world record attempt.
