Classic Dragster

Template:Kart-infobox 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.

This kart does not have a bike counterpart for the medium-size class, although its stats aside from the weight are similar to that of the Standard Bike S, Cheep Charger, and the Quacker. Its engine sound is also the same as that of the Cheep Charger. It is one of six vehicles that doesn't have a counterpart, the others being the Zip Zip, Phantom, Piranha Prowler, Jet Bubble, and Blue Falcon.

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.
