Usain Bolt teams up with Nissan to create ‘Bolt-performance GT-R’

Earlier this year, the fastest man in the world, Usain Bolt, purchased a shiny gold Nissan GT-R. Nissan is now taking advantage of his interest in the brand a little further by offering Bolt to extend his brand ambassador role as ‘Director of Excitement.’

In his new role, Bolt will help produce a special ‘Bolt-performance’ GT-R. The two will also team up to create a unique Gold GT-R, inspired by medal-winner, to be auctioned for Usain Bolt Foundation – http://usainbolt.com/foundation/.

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

Proceeds from the online auction will help the foundation’s work creating educational and cultural opportunities for children and young people in Bolt’s home country of Jamaica.
