Signed by Nissan’s Director of Excitement Usain Bolt, Nissan is provide an “exciting” opportunity to motoring enthusiasts across the Middle East. One of the world’s most distinctive supercars, a gold-painted Nissan GT-R, goes on tour across the region with first viewing at the Dubai Motor Show which concluded recently.

Earlier this year, Nissan customized a GT-R for double Olympic 100 m and 200 m gold medalist Usain Bolt, in recognition of his contribution to Nissan as its director of excitement. Based on the 2013 model year Nissan GT-R, this already customized example was further personalized to suit Bolt’s driving style and then finished in suitably exclusive gold paint.

At the handover ceremony, Bolt also signed the only other gold GT-R to have been produced by Nissan and gave it his official seal of approval by signing the bonnet.

It is this “unique” example, still featuring ‘Mr Bolt’s’ signature, which was on display at Dubai International Motor Show.

Samir Cherfan, MD, Nissan Middle East, said: “Usain Bolt was a Nissan GT-R owner long before he became directly involved with the brand, attracted by the staggering performance of our legendary supercar. The relationship between the multi-gold medal winning athlete and Nissan has since led to the recent announcement of Bolt becoming brand ambassador for the 196 mph GT-R and honorary director of excitement for the Nissan brand.

Known for delivering innovation and excitement, we are delighted in providing a great opportunity for visitors to view the gold Nissan GT-R, signed by Bolt, which celebrates the relationship between these two legends of speed, Cherfan added,

The gold Nissan GT-R marks the celebration of Bolt’s achievement on winning the two gold medals at the 2012 London Olympics was showcased at the Dubai Motor Show with various countries across the Middle East to follow during a regional tour.
