The Cobretti Nero GT400 is a 2-Door Sports Muscle Coupe that is featured in Split/Second. It is the fourth Cobretti brand vehicle earned in Season Mode, along with the last vehicle in Class C that the player is rewarded.

## Description

>
> *"Dynamic. Bold. Edgy. This muscular design features an aggressive stance, and a sleek profile resulting in a powerful road presence that screams speed, even at a standstill. Which is great and all, but can it outrun a building?"*

Built to withstand the explosive environment of Split/Second, the Nero GT400 takes its design from a Mercedes-Benz C-Class, specifically the 2008 C 63 AMG model, evident in the general shape, taillight section and front fascia, albeit drastically changed. It is also evident in the fender flares and extra lights on the lower section of the front bumper. The grille however takes a similar shape to the first generation Audi A5.

The front fascia consists of sharp aggressive angles, such as the design of the headlight housing and the extra pair of lights at the lower section. The bumper is customed to flow with the skirts and fender flares the car possesses. The grille is split into two, with a black piece in the middle that separates it. The Cobretti logo is placed on the upper portion of the grille. A red tow hook is present further down the bumper, with a red arrow and "TOW" painted below.

The hood includes dual intakes and four hood catches on every corner of the hood. ( Hood catches are **not** present during racing. ) Just below the hood, contains the player's racing number. It is flat, compared to the rest of the car's beefy structure. The greenhouse area of the window is quite large, and on the bottom right, includes a red kill switch.

The interior contains one seat for the driver only, along with a roll cage for hard impacts and safety against harsh powerplays. Window racing nets are also included for driver and passenger side windows. The doors are designed to match with the swooping body skirts on both sides of the car. There are no pillars present around the cockpit, but there is a racing gas tank just behind the driver's side window.

The rear is the Nero GT400's most defining feature. Possessing a very aggressive and beefy appearance, where the fender flares end, comes with altered strips of bodywork that is placed just before the taillights. The taillights, although differently designed, match those seen on a Mercedes-Ben C Class model from it's third generation. Within the taillights, contain 21 small and circular light bulbs that fits within the taillight glass.

The rear bumper is arched upwards to fit the diffuser and the dual large exhaust pipes. To the left pipe, a red two hook is present. The Nero GT400 features black 24-spoke rims with red centerlock wheel caps and fitted with *Split/Second* racing tires.

The car's livery is unique and defining, as it dawns one large black stripe with a smaller red one placed in the middle and starts from the grille and lower front bumper and extends past the wheels, and curves up against the rear fender flares. The continuing red hugs the rear fender flare and comes across the lower portion of the rear bumper. Another pair of black stripes form just before the top portion of the window and closes in as it comes down the roof, This portion of the livery matches with the driver and passenger doors and windows. It starts to slowly narrow as it reaches the trunk and in between the taillights, where it connects with the red stripe on the rear bumper. The rest of the car can be painted by the player in the following colors:

The Cobretti Nero GT400 can be painted in **7** colors;

* **Orange**
* **Blue**
* **White**
* **Grey**
* **Black**
* **Crimson**
* **Red**

## Performance

***Split/Second***

The Nero GT400 is at the top of Class C, meaning that it surpasses every single vehicle within it's genre. It's speed capabilities are also on the pace of cars at the beginning of Class B such as the Vortex and GT. It can start off the line regularly but due to it's higher speed, it tends to catch up with other vehicles in it's class with relative ease, given enough time to do so.

The vehicle possesses a good drift, that when initiated, can be stable throughout the drift. The back will swing wide, and in doing so, will tighten the drift as the player continues. The player can also execute very small and quick drifts that can last for half a second for small amounts of power to their meter. It will find traction extremely quick after said short drifts are concluded. Cornering is above-average given the four-wheel drive layout, offering grip for long bends and curves, even sharp ones when taken at lower speeds.

Durability is great especially for a car that is well down the order of cars given to the player during Season Mode. It can take powerplays but will still be send into a skid regardless of what powerplay is triggered. It's strength can be matched with the Coyote.

Despite what the car's statistics show, the GT400's acceleration is phenomenal. When coming out of a hard drift, the car will experience an amazing acceleration boost that can rival most cars in Class B and only a few cars in Class A. This specific strength of the GT400 is also on pace with abilities from the 440 Special, S510, and 530 GTS to name a few. Its only drawback is its speed,
