West Coast Customs Makes Real-Life Mario Karts

By Nathan Kirsch

West Coast Customs has built two Mario Kart 7-themed vehicles for the LA Auto Show to help promote the Nintendo 3DS! One is the classic Mario Standard kart and the other is the Luigi Bumble V kart. These unique electric vehicles were unveiled today at the LA Auto Show, where they will be on display Nov. 18-27 in the lobby of the West Hall of the Los Angeles Convention Center. In early 2012, an episode of Inside West Coast Customs will show how West Coast Customs and Nintendo worked together to make these video game vehicles a reality.

West Coast Customs is known for TV shows such as the classic Pimp My Ride on MTV and the current show Inside West Coast Customs on the Velocity Network. The company has re-created two vehicles from Mario Kart 7: the classic Mario Standard kart, complete with glider attachment for soaring through the air, and the Luigi Bumble V kart, which resembles a bumblebee and features a rear propeller for underwater navigation.*
