Monstrous Twin-Engine Mitsubishi-Powered Geo Metro Could Be The Thing That Kills You
When this Geo Metro was just an economical commuter for its first owner back in 1995, it weighed 1800 pounds and made 55 horsepower from a one-liter inline-three engine. According to the person selling this monster, the since-modified car allegedly weighs less than it did in stock form despite carrying six total liters, twelve total cylinders, and 420-horsepower worth of Mitsubishi Eclipse GT 6G72 engines. One has been swapped up front in place of the three-cylinder (and the front bumper), while the other sits inside the car’s hatch. It won’t haul much of your stuff anymore, but it’ll definitely haul ass.
My First Car: Danielle Moné Truitt’s ‘Blue Magic’ Mitsubishi Mirage
There aren’t very many photos of this car in the listing on Facebook Marketplace, but the seller did upload a video of the car running from zero to 150 miles per hour in about 19 seconds and a walkaround of the car showing off its, um, custom touches. This is the seller’s third twin-engine build, so you know they’ve got it dialed in and this thing is about as perfect as they come.

Here are a few key points from the seller’s listing that you should probably know before buying this work of art:
Con : I didn’t dial in the force a brake skid to make sure go straight test. An alignment should take care of that, but the way it is now it favors an ass right in a lock situation.
Con : You do have some braking , but you have to depress the clutch to have full braking.
Pro/Con : I removed the mass airflows for one less drivabilty issue to worry about, but that cuts mpg in half.
Con : No gas gauge, I use the trip meter to count miles and refill at certain distances , then reset.
Pro/Con : The aluminum sheet body is durable, but could use a buff and does stain if an animal urine’s on it.
Pro : It’s in the top 3 fastest Geo Metro’s on earth, that I know of.
And all of this could be yours for the low low price of just $70,000. Don’t worry, it’s not a project car, it’s ready to drive, they “just didn’t 100% everything.” I can only imagine what their asking price would be if they did 100 percent everything.
