![Bugatti Bird-gate Followup: Driver identity revealed <b>[*UPDATE:</b> Now with actual crash video!]](http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/11/bugatti-veyron-swim-1258147199_143x85.jpg)
F1 lawn mower cuts down the competition like Schumacher

I absolutely hate mowing the lawn, so anything that can help accomplish this task quicker than my hand-me-down Toro is worth considering. An F1-inspired mower just might do the trick. Complete with an F1-style front wing, full race suspension, rear view mirrors, vintage John Player Special-style livery and a steering wheel sporting an LCD gauge display, this CG mockup of a concept racing mower by Kadeg Boucher of France could easily shave a few tenths off my mow time. We particularly like the pull start that's been relocated front and center, as well as the race helmet cap on the single spark plug. Within the gallery below you'll find a bunch of images showing Boucher's concept cutter from every angle, and some versions of the machine appear more production feasible than others. Seriously, there are at least a few of us out there who would lay down cash on the spot if we passed this thing in Home Depot.
Thanks for the tip, Mason!

I'd buy one too, and I don't have a lawn.

I'd destroy the body, especially the front wing. My fence used to eat up wheels on FWD self propelled walk behind mowers. Nothing like trying to mow a straight line on a slow from the wrong side.
I'm going to pave my lawn and paint it green.

I'd buy one and be the envy of the neighborhood; including the guy across the street with the black GTO parked in his driveway. :-)

It seems the rich are running out of things to buy. They should instead buy me an FJ cruiser and an impreza WRX

I think it has one fatal flaw:
It's won't actually clear the grass

hmm... wonder if the tach and speedometer are functional...
how would you cut the edges of your lawn?
btw... the people that are willing to spend the ridiculous amount that this thing would be worth, would probably have more lawn than you'd want to cut with a pushmower....

I used to cut lawns around million dollar homes in Birmingham- Their called bigfoots, and tend to sit on a lot that leaves room for just a few little green swatches. Some we just cut with the trimmer.
Much like the giant Airplane radial engine powered motorcycle from last month, this is cool- but not very useful.
Where this would REALLY turn people's faces green, is the race track- roll this puppy out of your trailer and cut around your paddock are.

The F1 racing concept inspired lawn mower looks menacing.
Hmmm...silly me. Look the concierge just order one for a VIP-a high performance Formula One golf course lawn mower.
The salesman mentioned; it's top of the line with push button engine start running on new alternative fuels-"moonshine"...vintage alcohol. Heehe, Just kiddin...
Heehe...very interesting designs for the F1 concept racing lawn mower. Smiling.

Not only do you take all of the artist's images, you don't even link to his site?
