Circuit Special

The 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. In fact, its Dutch name is the Sprinter 2.0, either a reference to the B Dasher (Sprinter in Dutch), or the actual Sprinter (B Dasher Mk. 2 in PAL regions and Japan). 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.

Trivia
Just like the Comet, Donkey Kong is one of few males who has the orange varnish color, however this time he is joined by Larry who is the second only male who has time color scheme. But Larry doesn't use this color scheme when it comes to the Sports Bike.
