So, if you were the world's fastest man, what kinda car would you buy?

Just thought i'd fill you guys in on what one of our local stars over here in JA picked up recently



Kingston, Jamaica
Yesterday after getting his latest toy, a 2010 Nissan GTR, world 100m record holder, Usain Bolt, was invited to take his car this weekend to Dover for a gentlemanly race.

Bolt was invited after JRDC Driver's Championship contender, Douglas 'Hollywood' Gore heard of his new acquisition. Gore also invited former record holder, Asafa Powell to the event as well.

The Nissan GTR replaces a 2009 BMW M3 which Bolt overturned on the Highway 2000 toll road earlier this year. Asafa Powell is also the proud owner of a Black Series CLK C63 Mercedes, which is the 575 hp version of the already hot Kompressor C-Class.

exotic supercar

Bolt, the fastest man in the world, drove away in the exotic supercar after a brief photo opportunity at Worldtron Motors, Chelsea Avenue, St Andrew, yesterday. The twin turbo charged Nissan GTR is rated at 485 hp and has a top speed of 190+ mph. Purchase price is estimated at more than 110,000 pounds sterling (J$15,400,000).

In describing Bolt's new car, Gore said: "The M3 was more of a sporting sedan; I think the GTR is probably one of the ultimate sports cars. Knowing that it is a four wheel drive vehicle with traction aids, it should give Bolt more control. It is easier to drive and safer at speed."










FYI, Bolt bought a BRAND NEW 2009 BMW M3 back in Nov. of 08, here's whats left of it now



hopefully he'll be a bit more careful with this one
