Classic Dragster
Template:Kart-infobox The Classic Dragster (known as the Nostalgia 1 in the PAL release) 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. 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.
Its bike counterpart is the Sugarscoot.
