The '''Sports Coupe''' (written as '''Sports Coupé''' in the British English version) is a kart in the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series. As what its name suggests, it resembles a sports car, and also seems to be based on the {{wp|Smart Roadster}}. Unlike most other vehicles, it has three exhaust pipes. The emblem is located between the two lower exhaust pipes.
The '''Sports Coupe''' (known as '''Sports Coupé''' in Europe and Australia) is an unlockable [[kart]] body that appears in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]''. It's a yellow and black kart that resembles a sports car, though its name suggests that its design is based off of coupes. Unlike most other karts, the exhaust pipe is located on the top of the trunk of the vehicle, underneath its spoiler. It offers a boost in speed and weight, but a decrease in acceleration and a large decrease in traction. It has identical stats to the [[Mach 8]], [[Circuit Special]], [[Gold Standard]], [[B Dasher]], and [[P-Wing (kart)|P-Wing]]. Like the Circuit Special, its engine sound is reminiscent to a real life racing car and is one of the vehicles in ''Mario Kart 8'' to have a supercharged engine.


==History==
In ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', it is now available from the start. CPU [[Princess Daisy|Daisy]] or [[Isabelle]] can be seen occasionally riding this kart with [[Standard (tire)|Standard]] tires.
===''Mario Kart 8'' / ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''===
The Sports Coupe first appears in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'', as an unlockable kart body. It offers a boost in speed and weight, but a decrease in acceleration, anti-gravity handling, traction and mini-turbo. It has identical stats to the [[Mach 8]], [[Circuit Special]], [[Gold Standard]], [[B Dasher]], and [[P-Wing (kart)|P-Wing]]. Like the Circuit Special, its engine sound is reminiscent of a real-world racing car, and the Sports Coupe is also one of the vehicles in ''Mario Kart 8'' to have a supercharged engine (but is twin turbocharged), which almost sounds like a {{wp|flat-six engine}} from a {{wp|Porsche 911 GT3}}, but is actually a DOHC {{wp|V6 engine}}. The 150cc Time Trial staff ghosts for [[Mario Kart Stadium]] in both ''Mario Kart 8'' and ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' use [[Mario]] on the Sports Coupe with [[Standard (tire)|Standard]] tires and the [[Super Glider]].
 
In ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', the Sports Coupe now has an increase in traction but a decrease in ground speed and water speed (although it offers a boost to air speed and a bigger boost to anti-gravity speed); it also now negatively impacts ground and air handling while boosting anti-gravity handling. As a result, the Sports Coupe now shares its stats with only the [[Mach 8]] and the [[Inkstriker]] instead. CPU [[Princess Daisy|Daisy]] and [[Isabelle]] can be seen occasionally riding this kart with Standard tires. [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Funky Kong]] are also seen using this kart occasionally, but pairs it up with the [[Monster (tire)|Monster tires]] instead. The [[Toad Harbor]] and [[N64 Toad's Turnpike|Toad's Turnpike]] 200cc Time Trial staff ghosts in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' use [[Toad]] and [[Toadette]] respectively on the Sports Coupe with [[Slick]] tires.
 
===''Mario Kart Tour''===
The Sports Coupe reappears in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', where it is classified as a High-End kart. It increases the duration of [[Rocket Start]] boosts and the amount of points earned for performing a Rocket Start. It uses the [[Standard (tire)|Standard]] tires from ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. A variant themed around 2022, simply called the [[Sports Coupe 2022]], was introduced in the [[New Year's 2022 Tour]]. The kart was introduced in the [[1st Anniversary Tour]] and has since appeared in the First Pipe and Second Pipe of every tour. The table below details the kart's special availability by tour.
