mean machine
Intimidating powerful device
A mean machine is something impressively powerful or effective at what it does—a car, a computer, an athlete.
The phrase plays on rhyme and the slang sense of mean as formidable or excellent: That motorcycle is a mean machine.
It suggests raw power combined with sleek efficiency.
