The six-time Olympic Gold medalist, Usain Bolt, was pictured in one of Nissan’s supercars. He shared an Instagram picture of himself posing with what could be his latest car, a Nissan MY15 GT-R.
“Fast knows Fast”
The Nissan MY15 GT-R, which costs about £80,000, has a sleek chassis and design. It can reach 60mph in just 2.9 seconds. No wonder Bolt wrote: “Fast knows Fast” in the picture’s caption.

Representing Nissan
Bolt is no stranger to Nissan GT-Rs. He is a brand ambassador for Nissan. The auto manufacturer made a “Bolt Gold”, which is a special GT-R model, customized to fit Bolt’s driving style.
The 29-year-old Jamaican sprinter said that he was aiming to break the 19-second mark for the 200m. His current record stands at 19.19 seconds. Bolt set this record in 2009 at the world athletics championships in Berlin.
“I really want to run under 19 seconds. It’s one of my major goals,” he told the Compton Herald. “I think it’s one of the toughest ones, because it’s going to be hard to find the right day and … the perfect race to get this,” he added.
Bolt discussed his future plans a few times this year. He has targeted either the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro or the 2017 World Championships in London as potential retirement dates. In February, he sounded torn about competing in the 2017 World Championship.
“I really want to run at London, but I think the sport is not as fun as it used to be…It’s more taxing. I can’t enjoy it as much as I want to because I have to be sacrificing a lot more, so, uh, it’s 50-50, I’m telling you. […] After Rio, as I said, my sponsors want me to go one more year, but my coach said, ‘Listen to me, if you’re not going to be serious about going to the World Championships in London,’ then I shouldn’t do it, ” he said in an interview.
