The Classic Dragster (Nostalgia 1 in PAL regions) is a Medium kart in Mario Kart Wii. It's one of three default karts in the Medium class along with the Standard Kart M and the Wild Wing. Unlike most vehicles in the game, this one doesn't have a bike counterpart.

Description

Daisy rocking her orange Classic Dragster in style on DS Desert Hills.

It resembles a post-war grand prix racecar, or an early Formula One. The Classic Dragster doesn't have a bike-counterpart, as well as the Zip Zip, which does not have a kart-counterpart, although the kart's small counterpart is the Cheep Charger. It resembles Yoshi's Cucumber kart from Mario Kart DS, which makes the Classic Dragster his signature vehicle.

Trivia!

• The Classic Dragster is one of the five vehicles to come in six of the traditional-colors of the rainbow. The others being the Cheep Charger, Daytripper, Dolphin Dasher, and the Honeycoupe.
• When using the Classic Dragster over Wi-Fi, the other players cannot see the axles.
• Diddy Kong and a Female Mii are the only characters whose Classic Dragsters do not have a white body. In this case, Diddy Kong's is beige and a Female Mii's is pink.
• Ironically, despite resembling Yoshi's Cucumber from Mario Kart DS, it is Luigi's color scheme that more closely resembles said kart and not Yoshi's color scheme.
• If Daisy rides the Classic Dragster, its speed will be the same as the Standard Kart S, and it can completely outclass said kart, where all of the Classic Dragster's stays are higher or equal.
• This is the only Medium-sized kart from Mario Kart Wii to not reappear in Mario Kart Tour.
  • This is if the Standard Karts don't count.
