Unveiling the Ultimate Guide to Acquiring Johnny's Iconic Porsche in Cyberpunk 2077

Updated by Christopher Norman Worcester on October 20, 2023, CD Projekt Red has made important changes to the game with the release of the Phantom Liberty and 2.0 updates. Ensuring that sections of the game featuring beloved items for players continue to work in the same manner is crucial. This update confirms that obtaining Johnny's Porsche remains unchanged in version 2.0 and beyond, accompanied by a video guide to assist players in locating it.

Known as Johnny Silverhand's car, the Porsche 911 II (930) Turbo in Cyberpunk 2077 may seem complex on paper and a mouthful to pronounce. However, it is universally recognized for its association with the character. The customization on the car includes the name "Samurai," his band, painted on the rear, as well as several distinct designs and color details. Additionally, as a sports car, players who are not invested in Johnny's storyline can still appreciate the fusion of classic aesthetics and modern technological features.

What Makes The Porsche 911 II (930) Turbo Special?

However, players often overlook this particular car, making it easy to miss during the game. What's even worse is that those who have already completed Cyberpunk 2077 may discover that obtaining this vehicle is no longer possible upon revisiting certain areas. Even experienced players who start a new playthrough may unknowingly make choices that result in the permanent loss of this car. To avoid a similar fate, follow this comprehensive guide on ensuring that V secures those elusive keys.

Embedded within its name, this car possesses a unique quality that sets it apart from all others. In this envisioned future, the car manufacturer of the present era have ceased to exist. In their place, fictional entities like Chevillon and Villefort have emerged as replacements for the former automotive giants. While the real-life company Porsche may no longer be operational, its influence is preserved within this remarkable vehicle.

Progress In The Main Story

Although not the swiftest vehicle in the game, its appearance sets it apart. The design and structure of this car are exclusive to it and cannot be found in any other vehicle within the game. Additionally, the unique logos, vibrant coloring, and exceptional handling contribute to its distinctiveness from any other comparable vehicles.

Play the game until reaching the Nocturne OP55N1 main mission.

Players must complete several main tasks prior to the mission "Nocturne OP55N1" appearing. This occurs later in the story, so it is important not to expect immediate access to Johnny Silverhand's impressive vehicle upon arriving in Night City. While players can acquire other fast cars or one of the game's fastest motorcycles beforehand, none will provide the same level of satisfaction as this car. Consequently, it is advisable to be patient and await its arrival.

Get The Side Job "Chippin' In"

In the Nocturne OP55N1 mission, make sure to complete the side job known as "Chippin' In."

Considered a side job only in terms of its technical classification, "Chippin' In" is tightly connected to the main story. If players fail to regularly check the menu, it is possible to miss this opportunity entirely, never realizing it was available.

Unless players are willing to settle for one of the Quadra cars with a unique style, the most effective way to determine if this mission has unexpectedly appeared is when V embarks on a pursuit of Adam Smasher alongside Rogue. If this doesn't ring a bell, continue playing as it is an experience that cannot be overlooked.

Interrogate Grayson

Progress during the Chippin' In Mission until Grayson is injured and leaning against some crates.

Engage with Grayson during the pursuit of Adam Smasher where he sustains injuries and leans against a pair of Militech crates. Utilize this chance to interrogate him.

Despite the game featuring challenging decisions, players can freely engage in conversations with Grayson about any topic. Only towards the end of the conversation is there a chance for players to make a mistake, but this particular moment carries significant consequences that players will intuitively grasp.

Do Not Kill Grayson

During the dialogue, choose [Put weapon away] Got lucky today.

Eliminating low-level gangsters is a convenient method to gain significant street reputation. Consequently, influenced by Johnny and Rogue, players may find themselves inclined to disregard Grayson's begging and proceed with his execution.

Nonetheless, this action will permanently disable access to the car. Grayson is the sole individual who possesses knowledge of the Porsche's whereabouts, and this valuable information perishes with him. It is crucial to resist the influence of others and refrain from shooting him. Rogue will ultimately complete the task, but not before V acquires a card from Grayson.

Let Rogue Leave

Don't follow Rogue.

In video games, beginners often fall into traps, and every player inevitably makes significant mistakes during their initial playthrough of Cyberpunk 2077. One of the more crucial traps occurs right at this point, where players tend to feel compelled to safeguard Rogue.

Talk With Johnny

After Rogue leaves, speak to Johnny Silverhand.

Although certain benefits can facilitate steering conversations in a positive manner, convincing Johnny is unnecessary; however, engaging in a conversation with V is imperative. Johnny will be seated atop the identical Militech crates where Grayson was previously injured. Surprisingly, Johnny, who was initially willing to eliminate Grayson, has had a change of heart and now desires to reclaim what once belonged to him. He will provide V with instructions on locating the appropriate shipping container. But remember, Johnny occasionally appears for amusement, so don't disregard him this time.

Climb The Ladder

Follow the map marker.

Go to the top of the ladder.

The ladder leading to the control panel is conveniently located nearby. Following a conversation with Johnny, players will find it clearly indicated on the map, around 25 meters away, positioned atop a raised construction railing.

Locating it shouldn't prove challenging for players who are attentive, although it does require careful observation. Some players erroneously assume that Johnny is referring to a different control panel in a separate area, rather than the one nearby.

Turn On The Control Panel

Please activate the electronic panel by pressing the button. Players who climb the ladder may anticipate a breach protocol minigame to access the panel. However, fortunately, the controls are already unlocked. Simply approach and press the button to power it on.

Watch carefully as V will witness a shipping container being lowered into the immediate vicinity. Descend using the ladder to avoid a fatal fall. It is crucial to exercise caution since the container is not time-limited.

Open The Container

Look for Johnny Silverhand.

Open the adjacent container to him.

This is precisely why preserving Grayson's life holds such paramount significance. Players may flawlessly execute every other aspect of this guide and successfully determine the correct container's whereabouts. However, lacking the key renders them incapable of accessing it when necessary.

If players are feeling disoriented following their descent into the shipping yard, they can simply locate Johnny. He can be found eagerly waiting outside the designated container, convinced that he has already guessed the surprise and excitedly anticipating another thrilling experience.

Remove The Canvas And Hop In

Interact with the canvas to remove it.

Get inside the recently unveiled car. The only thing remaining is to reveal the wheels. With a simple button click, V will showcase Johnny's Porsche. Remember to get inside, as V doesn't officially own the car until stepping inside, and it would be a disappointment to have come this far without claiming the prize.

The release date of Cyberpunk 2077 was September 17th, 2020. The game is available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Google Stadia, Xbox Series X and Series S, and PC.
