Circuit Special
Circuit Special is an unlockable kart body in Mario Kart 8. It resembles a Formula One car, similar to the Sprinter (B Dasher Mk. 2 in the PAL regions and Japan) from Mario Kart Wii. It offers a speed and weight boost, but it hinders in acceleration and especially traction; it shares its stats with the Sports Coupe and the Mach 8. Similarly, the Sport Bike also has both a green and an orange/yellow varnish that greatly resemble the green and orange/yellow varnish for the Circuit Special.
