Someone has come up with a brilliant idea on how to make a boring duty into something you actually look forward to.

You might not move the lawn faster with an F1 Lawn Mover, but you will definitely do it with a bigger smile on your face.

The concept is a CG mockup by Kadeg Boucher from France. The design is inspired by the vintage Lotus 79, a formula one car driven by the Swedish racing driver Ronnie Peterson and others.
