The car will be built once the auction is completed, and will be delivered to the winning bidder in March 2013. the cabin will feature many gold elements along with a plaque with Bolt’s signature embossed on it.
Other items to be auctioned with the car include autographed racing goods such as t-shirts, driving boots, fireproof suits and helmets. The ‘Bolt Gold’ GT-R will mechanically be identical to the standard 2014 car.
