The Classic Dragster (known as the Nostalgia 1 in the British English version) is a medium-sized kart which appears in Mario Kart Wii. It resembles a late-1930s Grand Prix racecar, particularly those produced by Mercedes-Benz. It also resembles the Cucumber from Mario Kart DS. The emblem is located on the hood and on a license plate on the rear. Although it lacks a bike counterpart for its size class, its small counterpart is the Cheep Charger.

A similar kart, W 25 Silver Arrow, appears in Mario Kart 8 as a downloadable kart body and part of Mercedes-Benz × Mario Kart 8 DLC.

The Classic Dragster is a well-balanced Acceleration-type kart that features great acceleration with good handling, Mini-Turbo, and drifting. Its speed, weight, and off-road are around average. It is the second lightest and second slowest medium kart in the game, having the same speed as the Wario Bike.
