Gold cars can be considered classless, but that shouldn’t be a concern for somebody who’s worn more gold around his neck than most people. No, it’s not a rapper, it’s the fastest sprinter in the world, Usain Bolt.
The famous gold-medalist Olympic champion sprinter Urain Bolt has customized a GT-R to his liking as part of his ongoing collaboration with Nissan.

The gold GT-R will be sold on eBay, with the proceeds going to Usain Bolt Foundation, which tried to help children and youngsters in his home country of Jamaica.

The automaker will also produce a limited run of another GT-R tailored to Bolt’s tastes via its official dealer network.

“Nissan shares the spirit of excitement that captivated worldwide audiences at the Olympics. There is no-one better qualified than Usain Bolt to help us translate that spirit into great experiences," said Toshiyuki Shiga, Chief Operating Officer.
