A cheetah is faster. The big cats can reach a speed of 112 to 120 km/hr (70 to 75 mph). Usain Bolt runs a course of 200 meters in 19.3 seconds, but that is only an average speed of 37.3 km/hr (23.1 mph). His top speed is only about 50 km/hr (30 mph).

The cheetah also has faster acceleration : 0 to 64 mph in 3 seconds, which is faster than most cars other than dragsters.

Bolt would need a head start, because he could probably continue running once the cheetah tired after about 400 meters. Or he could drive his BMW.

No at full speed a cheetah will approach or even surpass 35 meters per second while Usain Bolt might reach a bit over 11 meters per second during his sprint.
