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, Mach 8, and the DLC B Dasher. 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 Sport Bike, Donkey Kong is one of few non-DLC males who has the orange varnish color, however, this time, he is joined by Larry Koopa, who is the second only male who has this color scheme.
 * The Computer controlled Yoshi, Rosalina, Metal Mario, and Pink Gold Peach occasionally use this body with the Standard wheels.
