- "Fresh from Truffade's undersea test track, the Nero is a god-emperor among supercars that'll dip its rivals in burning oil, seduce its mother and play the fiddle while the ozone burns. And if all the slack-jawed Adder owners aren't jealous enough already, Benny's deep-vented, mod-ready overhaul is going to have them driving their million-dollar golf buggies into the sea in despair."
- ―Benny's Original Motor Works description.
The Truffade NeroĀ is a hypercar featured in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the Import/Export update, released on December 20th, 2016, during the Festive Surprise 2016 event.
Design
Grand Theft Auto Online
The Nero is mostly based on the Bugatti Chiron, particularly the headlights, side curvatures starting from the bottom of the vehicle to the A-pillars, the small frame on the rear section, and the mechanical spoiler. The rear lights bear a slight resemblance to those found on the Laraki Epitome. The design of the stock exhausts seems to be inspired by the exhaust found on the 2017 Ford GT. The headlights shape is inspired by the headlights found on the second generation Honda NSX.
The Nero, being a modernized version of the Adder, shares some of the styling cues from the aforementioned car, having a similar bulky profile, front intake, curved ends, rear fender vents and dual exhaust setup. The lights assume the similar positioning and shape from the Adder's, but the headlamps are squared and the tail lights enclose the rear vents, both rendered as modern, LED lamps. A separation can be found at the rear like the Adder, but does not extend further down, as it passes directly above the engine. The Nero, like the T20, features an active spoiler.
The car's main body, upper side and rear panel are painted in a primary color, while the front bumper, part of the cabin, sides and rear are painted in a secondary color. A trim color is also available for its interior, mainly the panels, stitching and horn cap. Chrome trimmings can be seen at the front and around the cabin, as well as CFRP skirts and rear vents. Its underside also uses a CFRP plate covering the entirety of the vehicle, exposing the section around the rear axle.
Its interior is very modernized, featuring a dashboard with two main analog dials and a digital display, two AC units on the center and two more at either side of the dashboard, as well as a Meinmacht radio display. The steering wheel features four buttons and two paddle shifts behind it, as well as the Truffade logo on the horn cap. The gear stick is very stilized and the seats have a sleek appearance, appearing to be some kind of race seats.

Performance
Grand Theft Auto Online
The Nero's performance is a significant improvement from the Adder, the previous Truffade hypercar, in that acceleration is very similar. The vehicle becomes heavier however, although the mid engine, all wheel drive configuration and 6-speed gearbox are carried over. Its heavy weight also helps at keeping stability, as well as being rather tough to push, being an ideal choice for stunt races.
Although the engine is unclear to identify, it seems to emulate the Chiron's W16 engine. However, unlike the Adder's one, which is basically composed of two V8 covers, it uses its own texture, closely resembling the aforementioned engine and with the Truffade's logo embossed on each cam cover. Said engine is coupled to a 6-speed gearbox in a mid engine, all wheel drive (20% front, 80% rear) layout.

Trivia
General
- The vehicle's name and website description are obvious references to the Roman emperor Nero.
- The default radio station for the Nero is Non-Stop-Pop FM.
Grand Theft Auto Online
- Although gear clicks can be heard in-game, the vehicle sports a unique automatic transmission gearstick. It is likely to be a semi-automatic transmission system, supported by the appearance of paddle-shift sticks on the steering wheel. This is one of the first vehicles in the Grand Theft Auto series to sport such combination.
- The spoiler can break if the rear of the Nero is damaged enough. When broken, it will not raise up anymore, giving the car slight understeer and weakened braking. This also occurs with the T20 and XA-21.
Bugs/Glitches
Grand Theft Auto Online
- The carbon panellings on the "Exhaust" modifications appear to have a more concaved portion on the passenger side, slightly detaching from the vents. This issue is also present on the Nero Custom.
