it doesn't have a mower engine, so it isn't a mower.
It's a hot rod that looks kind of like a mower.

Look closer; there is an active mower deck there...from the press release:

"The super-fast mower still can cut grass thanks to two electric motors on the cutter deck, spinning 3mm steel cutting cable at an incredible 4000 rpm. The mower can cut grass at around 15 mph, more than double the flat-out speed of the original HF2620 from which it is derived. "

HF2620 (production mower from Honda U.K.):

It's a one-off, but based a model sold by Honda in the U.K.:

Key features | HF2622HT | Riding mowers | Lawn & Garden | Honda (UK)

Retail list is ~$8,600 USD Shipping from the UK not included.

That sounds like something from a Neiman Markus catalog.
