Ever wanted a real life Mario Kart? Want no more!

On my new list of things to do before I die is to drive one of these down a street throwing banana peels.

 

mariokart

 

Me and the guy shown below can have a race, and if someone is willing to dress up as Bowser and Luigi and join us, well that'd be a great help!

 

 

 

Seriously cool stuff though, with the Karts being shown at the Los Angeles Auto Show.

 

The Karts do actually move, though its doubtful you could actually get them registered for the road (laws, safety, etc. Whatever!)

 

The Karts feature:

 

  • Front-wheel drive
  • Electric powered
  • 18-inch wheels at the back
  • A propeller addon for travelling through water!

 

If you'd like to see how these were put together, check out an upcoming episode of West Coast Customs.

 

According to the Press release from American Nintendo President Reggie Fil-Aime, 'Mario Karts offer more fun per mile than any other vehicle, and Mario Kart 7 is a perfect example of the many great games Nintendo has lined up for the holidays".

 

The episode detailing the construction will be out in Early 2012.

 

Mario Kart 7 launches for the Nintendo 3DS on December 4, 2011 in North America, Dec 3rd in Australia and Dec 2nd in Europe.

 

Those lucky Japanese gamers get to taste the new Mario Kart on the 1st of the Month, once again making the world jealous at just how much video game attention they get!

My brother used to race shifter karts. Fast as all hell, but dangerous.

This title doesn't make sense; if you want something, finding out it's a reality will only increase your desire for the object. Should say, "Wish there was a real life Mario Kart? Wish no more!"
