Classic Dragster

The Classic Dragster (known as the Nostalgia 1 in the British English version) 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. It also resembles the Cucumber from Mario Kart DS. The emblem is located on the hood and on a license plate on the rear.

This kart does not have a bike counterpart for the medium-size class, making it the only default vehicle in the game to not have a counterpart in its class. However, its stats are similar to that of the Cheep Charger and the Quacker. Its engine sound is also the same as that of the Cheep Charger.

A similar kart, W 25 Silver Arrow, appears in Mario Kart 8 as a downloadable kart body and part of Mercedes-Benz × 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. It is notable for being the second lightest and the second slowest medium kart in the game; having its speed tied with the Wario Bike. Its weight is tied with the Dolphin Dasher, while its acceleration is tied with the Bit Bike. Its handling is tied with the Offroader and its drifting is tied with the Standard Bike S. It has the best acceleration of all the medium vehicles. If Peach rides the Classic Dragster, it's acceleration will tie with the Cheep Charger.
