Nissan takes Whitlock celebrations to the Max with gold LEAF

  • Whitlock becomes one of the first Team GB athletes to win all-gold, all-electric #nissan LEAF
  • Sir #chrishoy announces that all #nissan ambassadors who medal gold at Rio will win all-gold LEAF 

 

Gymnastics sensation Max Whitlock will be presented with a stunning all-gold 100% electric #nissan #leaf following his medal triumph at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games yesterday.

 

The #nissan ambassador made headlines around the world when he took two gold medals – securing gold on the floor and pommel horse – on what has been dubbed ‘Sensational Sunday’.

 In recognition of his astonishing achievement, #nissan will now present him with the keys to a #leaf completely wrapped in brilliant bright gold – on his return to the UK.

 

Nissan Team GB and ParalympicsGB athletes returning from Rio with a gold medal will be presented with a gold #nissan #leaf, making it one of the most limited edition #nissan models ever.

 

Nissan is the official automotive partner of Team GB and ParalympicsGB and has been delighted by the success of its other competing ambassador athletes so far, including first gold #leaf winner - rower George Nash, for his win in the men’s coxless-four.

 

Chris Marsh, Marketing Director at #nissan Motor (GB), said: “Max has been a #nissan ambassador since we first launched our partnership with Team GB and so many of us at #nissan have had the pleasure of working with him and getting to know him as he prepared for the biggest sporting night of his life.

 

“We are all so proud to have him associated with #nissan and he’s the perfect person to be a recipient of one of our gold LEAFs."

 

Nissan ambassador Sir #chrishoy, launched the Gold #leaf campaign announcing that all #nissan sponsored athletes who win a gold medal at the Rio Games would be rewarded with a special gold wrapped all-electric #nissan #leaf upon their return from Rio.*

 

One of the gold wrapped #nissan LEAFs is on display at the #nissan Innovation Station at The 02. For more information about the #nissan #leaf visit:
