Im guessing that AKAT's ride is the fastest in Malasia,

Jesus's picanto in Denmark

and then mine "stealth-black-Picanto" in the UK....

yay i come 3rd...

do you think you have the fastest Picanto in your country...tell us all...we'd like to know..

tell us what mods you got,

a picture/video

tell us what kinda Picanto it is..

and if you really must get a dyno graph and tell us the results

i can never b the fastest because last week, i saw this orange picanto, fully modified plus customised bumpers and scoops. went fast on the highway. i got a shock of my lifetime and decided to tailgate him. realised he was a singaporean. but very nicely done i should say. i envy the owner man!

i don't think that in my contry there are any moded Picanto's.... the models to new... only apeared here last august and people bought it in Leasing to escape the Custom taxes and they can't mod it until they finish the leasing....

i managed to get mine to about 95mph but i gues i can take it to 105mph if i have a good road....

the fastest one is the one of the Kia dealer in my town... he is a rally driver.... and i think he got 1 or 2 mods on it but i'm not sure..... anyway he got it to 115mph with 2 persons on board.... so i guess he is either a magician or he is moded

What is all this about fast Picantos?

Who are you trying to kid?

The Picanto is a fine, reliable and capable economy car, cheap to buy, reasonably economical to own (except possibly the clutches I am reading about!), but it is not fast.

I have a Picanto for everyday economy travel, and a Yamaha Fazer 1000 motorcycle for when I want to go exhileratingly quickly.

Just accept it for what it is, a 1.1 car is never going to be fast.

Sorry, I am not knocking it, it is a great little car and I love it.
