Classic Dragster

The Classic Dragster (known as the Nostalgia 1 in Europe and Oceania) 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. The engine sound is actually a lower pitched version of the Standard Kart from Mario Kart DS, which it shares with other vehicles.

This kart does not have a bike counterpart for the medium-size class, although its stats are similar to that of the Cheep Charger and the Quacker.

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

Stats
The Classic Dragster is a rather well-balanced kart that features great acceleration with good handling, Mini-Turbo, and drifting. Its speed, weight, and off-road are around average. Its weight is tied with the Dolphin Dasher.
