Johnny Silverhand’s Porsche: An Overview
Johnny Silverhand’s Porsche 911 II (930) Turbo is a highly sought-after vehicle in Cyberpunk 2077, known for its unique aesthetic and connection to the legendary rock star. This sports car stands out with its customized “Samurai” band name painted on the rear and distinctive coloring, making it unlike any other vehicle in Night City. Unlike other cars in the game, which are often from fictional companies like Chevillon or Villefort, the Porsche is a real-world brand, making its presence in the futuristic setting particularly noteworthy.
While it may not be the absolute fastest car available, its unique frame, model, and handling characteristics ensure it has no comparable counterpart. Players will appreciate its blend of classic design and advanced technology. The process to acquire this iconic car is specific and can be easily missed if certain choices are not made during a particular side job. Even with game updates like Phantom Liberty and 2.0, the method for obtaining Johnny’s Porsche remains consistent.
Prerequisites for Obtaining the Porsche
Acquiring Johnny Silverhand’s Porsche requires significant progress through the main story of Cyberpunk 2077. You will need to advance until you reach the “Nocturne OP55N1” main mission. This mission is a considerable distance into the game’s narrative, meaning the Porsche won’t be accessible early in your playthrough.
During the “Nocturne OP55N1” mission, a crucial side job called “Chippin’ In” will become available. While technically a side job, it is directly integrated into the main story progression. It’s important to actively engage with this mission, as it’s the sole opportunity to obtain the vehicle. A key indicator that “Chippin’ In” is underway is when V begins to hunt down Adam Smasher alongside Rogue. If this part of the story hasn’t occurred yet, continue with the main missions.
Chippin’ In: Securing the Porsche
The core of obtaining Johnny’s Porsche lies within the “Chippin’ In” side job. During this mission, you will encounter Jeremiah Grayson. Your actions during this encounter are critical to securing the car.
- Locate and Confront Grayson: Progress through “Chippin’ In” until you find Grayson, who will be injured and leaning against some crates.
- Interrogate Grayson: Engage in a conversation with Grayson. The dialogue choices during most of this interrogation are not consequential for the car itself, but the final decision is paramount.
- Spare Grayson: At the end of the conversation, you will be presented with a critical choice: to kill Grayson or to spare him. To get Johnny’s Porsche, you must spare Grayson. Choose the dialogue option that indicates you are putting your weapon away, such as “[Put weapon away] Got lucky today.” If you kill Grayson, the opportunity to obtain the car will be lost permanently, as he is the only one who knows its location.
- Receive the Keys: If you spare Grayson, he will give you a set of keys.
- Locate the Shipping Container: After obtaining the keys, Grayson will direct you to a nearby shipping container.
- Use the Crane: Head to the crane in the vicinity and use its controls to lower the container to the ground.
- Open the Container: Once the container is on the ground, approach it. Johnny will recognize the container. Open it to reveal his Porsche 911, covered by a tarp.
- Claim the Porsche: Remove the tarp, get into the car, and drive it out of the container.
From this point forward, Johnny Silverhand’s Porsche 911 will be added to your inventory of vehicles. You can then summon it like any other owned car at your convenience.
