“What’s new about the new GT-R well, it has 20 more horsepower and they also re-arranged the interior which is more luxurious which I really like, it’s different now so that’s awesome.”
26. SOUNDBITE (English) Usain Bolt, World’s Fastest Human
“I own two GTR’s, um, I have a black one which I got first. I did my research I was just really impressed by the car and I also got a gold one which Nissan actually made personally for me. It’s the only gold one out there with a special paint[ing] so for me I was excited to get it. White interior which is hard—I wouldn’t advise anyone to get white interior, it’s hard [to] take care (laughs).
27. SOUNDBITE (English) Usain Bolt, World’s Fastest Human
“Why did I grab the GT-R? It’s just an awesome car. For me I took the time out—I remember when I was getting my first GT-R, I took the time out to research, to find out what makes it so awesome and it’s just an awesome car. It’s built well, it corners well, fast, it’s safe. There’s so much great things about this car for me and I feel safe, and that’s always the key thing and when I want to go fast, hey (laughs) it works out well for me.”
28. SOUNDBITE (English) Usain Bolt, World’s Fastest Human
“Well the training has been going pretty well for the Olympic games. It’s been wonderful so far. I’ve been on track. I’ve been working out pushing myself because it’s a big year so I’m definitely looking forward to going out and doing my best.”
29. SOUNDBITE (English) Usain Bolt, World’s Fastest Human
“For me I never try to predict anything but I definitely said I’m going to go out there and defend my titles, to win three gold medals again. Hopefully I can break a few more world records and stuff so that’s my focus and we’ll see what happens.”
