"When you've got a sports car to promote, having the ""world's fastest man"" on hand isn't a bad thing. Olympic gold medalist Usain Bolt is Nissan's ""Global Director of Excitement,"" and he's also a fan of the GT-R. So what does he think of the refreshed 2017 model unveiled last week at the 2016 New York Auto Show?

Not surprisingly, he likes what he sees. Bolt already owned a GT-R before becoming a Nissan ""brand ambassador,"" after which the carmaker gave him a second GT-R painted gold, naturally.

Nissan claims the 2017 refresh is the most significant update of the current R35 GT-R since it was launched, and there are certainly a lot of changes. A new front fascia incorporates Nissan's ""V-Motion"" grille, and there are changes to the hood, side sills, and rear fascia as well. The GT-R's drag coefficient remains a low 0.26, according to Nissan."
