Nissan has built a one-off special edition gold painted GT-R car finished with real gold interior for the Usain Bolt Foundation,carsguide.com.au has reported.

The car's interior is said to also be embossed with Bolt's signature. According to the website carsales.com.au, it is powered by a 3.8-litre twin-turbo V6 engine. It can accelerate to 100km/h in an eye-watering 2.8 seconds, ranking it among the world's fastest production cars.

The Olympic 100m and 200m champion sprinter recently became an ambassador for Nissan. As the 'Director of Excitement', Bolt will be involved in developing more GT-R models for Nissan beyond the one-off gold vehicle.

He unveiled the gold supercar in front of thousands of adoring Japanese fans yesterday.

The gold GT-R will be auctioned on eBay, with the proceeds being donated to the Usain Bolt Foundation, a charity for youths in Jamaica.

The car may not only become a one-off version, however, as Bolt who already owns one Nissan GT-R, after seeing the gold edition has reportedly asked Nissan to build a personal one for his use in Jamaica.

The multi world record holder possible has a vacant spot in his garage as just days after announcing in June he would become an ambassador for the Nissan GT-R, Bolt crashed his BMW M3 in Half-Way Tree, St Andrew. Bolt had attended a party just before the 5 a.m. crash.

The sprinter was also involved in another accident in 2009 where his BMW car was completely wrecked.

Nissan's global advertising campaign, centred on Bolt and his GT-R, is titled 'What if ...' - to which we're tempted to add the words '... I try not to scratch up the GT-R'. That gold might be a bit harder to polish than his Olympic medals.
