The Truffade Nero Custom is a custom 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.
Influence[]
The car is essentially a heavily modified variant of the Nero, featuring various racing modifications strongly based on the Bugatti Vision Gran Turismo. The Ford GT-inspired exhausts from the regular Nero are replaced by a quad-setup, similar to the ones found on the Pagani Huayra, while the stock spoiler may be a mix of the Bugatti and the Lamborghini Veneno.
Design[]
The front end is fitted with a CFRP splitter spanning the width of the car and supported by two small struts, as well as small canards on the outer edges and an orange racing tow hook below the grille. The bonnet area has been extensively modified with safety pins, a larger carbon-fibre panel and slatted intakes over the fenders. Bolt/rivet details can be also seen on the fittings of the windscreen.
The sides of the car denote a more aerodynamic profile, featuring an inset/cut-out section on the front fenders. It has larger carbon-fibre skirts with small fins on either side, and the doors seem to have visible hinges and rear-vision cameras in place of standard mirror shells (though they are not seen functioning in any way). A small antenna can be seen on the roof, and small scoops can be seen on the rear fenders and boot area, together with a conventional spoiler/wing attached to it from a middle frame and the outer edges.
The rear of the car is mostly identical in design and features quad exhaust tubes on the central panel, along with a manufacturer emblem on the passenger side. Again, its underside uses a CFRP plate covering the entirety of the vehicle, exposing the section around the rear axle.
The interior is shared with the standard Nero. However, the stock seats have a Truffade 'T' emblem embedded on the headrest. Certain modifications, however, may replace it with a race-style interior, using a digital speedometer/display and numerous switches around the dashboard, similar to cars like the RE-7B and the ETR1.
Colour distribution is the same as the regular Nero, with the main body, upper side and rear panel being painted in a primary colour, and the front bumper, part of the cabin, sides and rear being painted in a secondary colour. However, the details on the splitter and skirts, as well as the side walls on the tyres, matches with the car's primary colour. Again, a trim colour is available for the interior panels, stitching and horn cap, as well as a dial colour that also affects the radio display. The vehicle uses the same set of seven-spoke rims with a manufacturer emblem on the black, bolted-on centre, wrapped in low-profile tyres. Again, the rims can also support a dedicated colour, although only naturally-generated examples may have one (which is set to white like the regular Nero).
Performance[]
Being a GT-oriented variant of the standard Nero, the car receives upgrades in speed and acceleration, where the files list the car as being 0.2 km/h faster than the regular Nero. The car gains upgraded handling thanks to the weight reduction, likely due to the carbon fibre inserts around the entire body. The vehicle's spoiler also supplies more downforce and control. Despite the weight reduction, the vehicle remains relatively stable, being even more ideal for stunt races.
The car retains the same engine and sound as the normal Nero, while the model is also shared from the Adder, another Truffade supercar.
The Nero Custom's statistical stock top speed is 117 mph / 188.3 km/h.
- EMS Engine Upgrade 1 produces 119 mph / 191.5 km/h.
- EMS Engine Upgrade 2 produces 120 mph / 193.1 km/h.
- EMS Engine Upgrade 3 produces 121 mph / 194.7 km/h.
- EMS Engine Upgrade 4 produces 122 mph / 196.3 km/h.
This makes it, at stock, one of the fastest vehicles in the game, in a straight line, tied with the X80 Proto, however when modified, vehicles such as the Banshee 900R and Pariah will exceed this speed, even if the Nero Custom is upgraded too.

A Nero Custom with no spoiler. (Rear quarter view)
Modified example of the Nero Custom on Benny's Original Motor Works.
The Nero Custom incorrectly placed in the cinematic preview of the Nero on GTA Online Rockstar Games Social Club.
The spoiler-less Lucky Wheel version.
Locations[]
- Can be converted from a Nero at Benny's Original Motor Works, for $605,000.
- Awarded to players who complete Tier 4 of Import/Export in Career Progress as of the San Andreas Mercenaries update.
Prominent Appearances in Gameplay[]
- Appears in the mission Repo - Simeonomics, where it must be stolen from the cargo hold of a Cargo Plane at LSIA and delivered to Simeon's dealership. If there are four players, two models will have to be stolen instead of one.
Rockstar Games Social Club[]
Oversights[]
- The carbon panellings on the "Exhaust" modifications appear to have a more concave portion on the passenger side, slightly detaching from the vents. This issue is also present on the Nero.
- Certain spoilers will incorrectly render liveries on the left-side wing, becoming horizontally flipped.
- There is a small modeling error present near the engine bay, as part of the panelling has a small dent on it.
- The "action image" on the vehicle's Rockstar Games Social Club listing shows the Nero.
Radio Stations[]
- In Grand Theft Auto Online, the default radio stations are grouped by genre. The Nero Custom uses the "Pop" group which can play:

Events[]
- Could be won from the Lucky Wheel in the Casino during the Stunt Racing Week event.
- This version did not have a spoiler on it. This was the only way to legitimately get the vehicle with no spoiler, as the option to remove the stock spoiler is not an available modification.
Trivia[]
General[]
- The vehicle's name and website description are obvious references to the Roman Emperor Nero.
- The Nero Custom is the second vehicle to be based on a Vision Gran Turismo vehicle, the first being the ETR1.
- The last section of the description is a reference to a YouTube video where a man drives a Bugatti Veyron into a lake.
Grand Theft Auto Online[]
- The Nero Custom emits an electrical beep when the engine is turned off, the same sound effect is heard on the Tempesta, 811, Itali GTB Custom, Specter and the Specter Custom, this is not present on the standard model.
- For some reason, while the "Crowex Livery" and "Pendulus Livery" bear the identification number "1", the driver-side number of the second livery bears the number "7".
