Nissan has just delivered one of the world’s rarest GT-R supercars to an Australian customer.
One of only two made, the unique Nissan GT-R MY13 is a replica of the one-of-a-kind version made especially for Olympic gold-medallist Usain Bolt.
The replica was sold at a special charity auction in late 2012. The winning bidder from Melbourne, Australia, paid $US187,100 for the vehicle.
All proceeds from the auction will be donated to the Usain Bolt Foundation to help with its mission of creating educational and cultural opportunities for children and young people in Usain Bolt’s home country of Jamaica.
The special Gold GT-R purchased by the winning bidder is based on the 2013 model year Nissan GT-R. It features a BOSE audio system and 10-spoke RAYS aluminium-alloy forged wheels.
These specially-fitted, hyper-titanium colour-coated wheels add extra flair to the bold exterior.
The visual specifications of the car, including exterior colour, interior colour and wheels, were selected by Bolt himself
“Nissan is proud to support the Usain Bolt Foundation and excited that the highest bidder hails from Melbourne, Australia,” says William F Peffer Jr. Nissan Australia managing director and CEO.
“The Nissan GT-R just gets better and better and more refined each year, and the fact that this gold GT-R also celebrates the incredible achievements of the great Usain Bolt makes it something very special indeed.”
