Usain Bolt is the fastest man in the world and now he's been pictured in one of the world's fastest cars. 

The six-time Olympic Gold medalist posted a picture of himself posing with what is presumably his latest set of wheels - a Nissan MY15 GTR.

The GTR, which costs about £80,000, sports a sleek chassis and design with a speed of 0-60mph in just 2.9 seconds. Clearly, as Bolt points out in the image's caption: 'Fast knows Fast.'

Of course, Bolt is no stranger to the Nissan range and already owns a gold version of the car.   

Bolt, who turned 29 in the summer, is now entering the twilight of his sprinting career, but his ambitions show no signs of letting up. 

The Jamaican has earmarked either after the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro or the the World Championships in London a year later as a potential date for his retirement, but has some lofty goals he wants to achieve before then.  

In an interview with the Compton Herald earlier this month, Bolt confirmed that he was aiming to break the 19-second mark for the 200m; and it's worth noting that he's already come within two-tenths of a second of achieving the milestone. 

His record of 19.19 seconds for the 200m has stood since August 20 in 2009, four days after he set the 100m record of 9.58 seconds, both at the world athletics championships in Berlin.

He told the Compton Herald: 'I really want to run under 19 seconds. It's one of my major goals.'

Bolt added: 'I think it's one of the toughest ones, because it's going to be hard to find the right day and … the perfect race to get this [200m record]. 

'It will not be an easy task, but I personally feel I can do it and my coach [Glen Mills] thinks I can do it so it is just about the work and finding the perfect time to do it, so it is one of the things (for 2016).'
