Video game publisher Nintendo of America has managed to bring two vehicles from the Mario Kart series to life, in cooperation with the team at West Coast Customs, and all fans of the game can see them at the Los Angeles Auto Show, which takes place until November 27 in the West Hall of the LA Convention Center.

One vehicle is Mario themed while the other bears the Luigi look and they can be found in the lobby of the West Hall.

Reggie Fils-Aime, who leads the United States division of Nintendo, has said, “Mario karts offer more fun per mile than any other vehicle. Mario Kart 7 is a perfect example of the many great games Nintendo has lined up for the holidays.”

Ryan Friedlinghaus, who is the Chief Executive Offier at West Coast Custmos, added, “We've played Mario Kart games for years, so it's a dream come true to bring these karts to life. We think people will be blown away by seeing these cool video game vehicles in person.”
