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.

Trivia

 * Similarly, the Sport Bike also has orange and yellow varnish that greatly resembles the orange and yellow varnish for the Circuit Special.
 * The green varnish for the Circuit Special greatly resembles the green varnish for the Sport Bike.
 * The Circuit Special is called the Sprinter 2.0 in Dutch, either a reference to the B Dasher (Sprinter in Dutch), or the Sprinter (B Dasher Mk. 2 in PAL regions and Japan). It is also the fourth kart with a spoiler, with the first being the Sprinter itself, the second being the Jetsetter, and the third being the Blue Seven.
 * Wendy O. Koopa is the only female not to use the same color scheme as the other females; being orange-yellow. Instead, she shares her color scheme with Bowser.
