This is the JCB GT--the fastest backhoe in the world. It's a product of JCB, a British manufacturer of heavy equipment. The company built it to advertise its products at public events, such as drag races. After heavy modifications, it's been able to seize a Guinness World Record. Matthew Lucas, a professional driver, recently piloted it on a track in Bathurst, Australia. Today, Guinness World Records confirmed the JCB GT's incredible speed on that run: 72.58 miles per hour.

We have a themepark here where you can drive them around and dig stuff. It's called "Diggerland". :)

I'm British and have never heard the word "backhoe" before. Everyone here would know that as a "JCB" or a JCB digger!
