Bolt’s Black Beauty

AUTO

SPRINTING superstar Usain Bolt relaxes on his new custom-built 335 BMW coupé, which he last week collected from local BMW dealers Stewart Motors.

This black beauty has 19.19, to signify his 200-metre world record, as the badge on the exterior and sports red custom-designed interior trim, also highlighting the 19.19.

“Everything on the interior is custom built,” a Stewart Motors representative told Auto.

According to Stewart Motors, the one-of-a-kind vehicle, with its signature gull-wing doors, pushes more power than the regular 335 coupé, as it is upgraded with the exclusive BMW performance kit.

Bolt bought this special beauty to replace his BMW M3 that crashed early last year along Highway 2000.

The cost? Auto is unsure but a regular BMW 335 costs approximately $10 million.
