To the World --- The double Olympic 100m and 200m champion sprinter has recently become an ambassador for Nissan, and has added his golden touch to a one-off edition of the Japanese brand's range-topping performance GT-R.

A one-of-a-kind Nissan GT-R developed to recognize Bolt’s contribution to sports and his automotive passion will be auctioned off on eBay with the proceeds benefiting the Usain Bolt Foundation, which helps create educational and cultural opportunities in Jamaica.

The one-off gold painted GT-R will be embossed with the Olympian’s signature and feature real gold interior trim.

Bolt will also help Nissan develop a limited-edition Nissan GT-R, though no details have been released. Nissan says that Bolt has just finished test-driving GT-Rs at the company’s proving grounds to help build a “Bolt GT-R.” Nissan plans to take into account his reaction times, acceleration, and handling capabilities in developing the special GT-R.

Sweet! Will be one heck of a package!

If Nissan's plans of factoring the Olympian's reaction times, and especially his acceleration whilst developing the car are anything to go by; this limited edition GT-R could be one really quick car. After all, she'll have to live up to the Jamaican's reputation of being the 'fastest man on the planer' - or the automobile equivalent of it anyway

That the proceeds go to the Usain Bolt foundation makes it extra special! Kudos Nissan
