A very fast man gets a very fast car. Nissan’s honorary ‘Director of Excitement,’ Usain Bolt, has taken delivery of a Nissan GT-R Spec Bolt, a model that has been tailored specifically for the Olympic gold medallist.
Bathed in exclusive gold paint and based on the 2014 GT-R, the car was presented to Bolt at his home training facility in Jamaica. It has been customised to suit the Jamaican’s driving style, based on the data Nissan engineers recorded during his test drive of the GT-R line-up when he visited the company headquarters last October.
Sitting on 10-spoke RAYS aluminium-alloy forged wheels, the Nissan GT-R Spec Bolt features a flamboyant white interior, a BOSE audio system and a ‘Spec Bolt’ emblem – all chosen by the 26-year old himself.
Late last year, a separate gold-painted GT-R was unveiled as the grand prize in an online global charity auction to benefit the Usain Bolt Foundation, which helps create opportunities for Jamaican youth. The winner is expected to take delivery of this car later this year.
The 2014 Nissan GT-R carries a 3.8 litre twin-turbo V6 that produces 545 hp at 6,400 rpm and 627 Nm of torque between 3,200 and 5,800 rpm. It has a top speed of 315 km/h and completes the century sprint (!) in under three seconds. Let’s hope he’ll be careful with this one…
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Let’s just hope he doesn’t crash this one.
like he did in the M3…
Drive hard and crash, or go slow and go home. rather see performance cars put to use than being driven like paris hilton.
Nissan Bolt, not a bad name.
So who’s faster now? Bolt or Bolt’s GTR?
Bolt is just as fast as my bicycle…
He trash 2 BMW M3
Good at sprinting but not at driving .. ha ha ha .. :-)
He only like to step on gas, want the car to achieve faster speed like he used to in sprint. Now with GT-R, he can go as fast as possible and the computer assists him in the corner.
So..was it given free?
[blackout]….and Derangggg…GTR jd potong hehe…
So, who’s faster in century sprint? 1/4 miles race? :)
With same machine I believe I can drive much faster than him
