- "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 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.
Design
Grand Theft Auto Online
The Nero Custom is strongly based on the Bugatti Vision Gran Turismo.
The car is essentially a heavily-modified variant of the Nero, featuring various racing modifications. The front end is fitted with a CFRP splitter spanning the width of the car, as well as small canards on the outer edges. The bonnet area has been extensively modified with safety pins, a larger carbon-fibre panel and slatted intakes over the fenders. Bolt details can be also seen on the fittings of the windscreen.
The sides of the car denote a more aerodynamic profile, featuring a concave portion passing through the doors, leaving the rear area of the front wheels exposed. 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 two 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 portion surrounding the wheel, matches with the car's primary colour. Again, a trim colour is available for the interior panels, stitching and horn cap. 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.

Performance
Grand Theft Auto Online
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.[2]
- 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.

Prominent Appearances in Missions
Grand Theft Auto Online
- 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.
Locations
Grand Theft Auto Online
- Can be converted from a Nero at Benny's Original Motor Works, for $605,000.
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 default radio station for the Nero Custom is Non-Stop-Pop FM.
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".
Bugs/Glitches
Grand Theft Auto Online
- 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.

- Itali GTB Custom - Another race-orientated custom supercar added in the same update for GTA Online.

GTA Wiki: Manual of Style/Vehicles/Speed Testing - GTA V and GTA Online
These top speeds are not suitable for comparing cars and their performance on the road. Roads are bumpy, and bumps in the game give vehicles random boosts of speed, increasing the overall road top speed. These top speeds simply show which car has the highest statistical speed, essentially a speed which considers all the variables added to the initial raw top speed in the handling files, and do not reflect the top speed each of these cars could reach on the road or even travelling through air. Finally, these speeds do not determine which car is "quickest" or "fastest" - competing vehicles in drag races may result in unexpected outcomes, due to the fact that restricting the drag race distance may not allow certain vehicles to reach their top speed, as the acceleration of vehicles has a massive affect on their performance and reliability in racing. These statistical top speeds give all vehicles plenty of time to reach their highest top speed on a flat, indefinitely-long strip of straight track.
