Acquiring Johnny’s Porsche 911

To get Johnny Silverhand’s Porsche 911 in Cyberpunk 2077, players must progress through the main story until they unlock and complete the “Chippin’ In” side job. During this side job, a critical decision must be made to spare Jeremiah Grayson, who will then provide the keycard needed to access the car. This process remains consistent in Cyberpunk 2077 versions 2.0 and beyond.

The Porsche 911 II (930) Turbo, better known as Johnny Silverhand’s car, is a unique vehicle in Night City. It stands out not only because it’s a real-world car company’s product in a future dominated by fictional brands like Chevillon and Villefort but also due to its distinctive customization. The car features Johnny’s band name “Samurai” painted on the back, along with other unique designs and coloring details. While it may not be the absolute fastest car in the game, its blend of old-school aesthetics and new-tech hardware, combined with its unparalleled visual design, makes it a highly sought-after item. The frame, model, logos, coloring, and handling of this Porsche are unlike any other vehicle encountered in the game.

The ‘Chippin’ In’ Side Job

The journey to obtain Johnny’s Porsche begins deep into the main story of Cyberpunk 2077. Players must first reach the “Nocturne OP55N1” main mission. This mission appears after a significant portion of the main story has been completed, so the car is not accessible early in the game. During the “Nocturne OP55N1” mission, the side job “Chippin’ In” becomes available. This “side job” is more of a direct tie-in to the main narrative, and it’s possible for players to overlook its appearance if they aren’t actively checking their menu.

A key indicator that “Chippin’ In” has started is when V begins hunting down Adam Smasher with Rogue. Players should ensure they are on good terms with Johnny by selecting non-apprehensive dialogue options when speaking with him throughout the game. Being friendly with Johnny is crucial for unlocking this mission and other unique Johnny Silverhand items, including his iconic pistol and Samurai bomber jacket. This mission is essential, as the Porsche is a missable item if the correct choices are not made.

Critical Choices with Grayson

As the “Chippin’ In” mission progresses, V and Rogue will track down Adam Smasher, leading to an encounter with a character named Jeremiah Grayson. Grayson will be injured and leaning against some Militech crates, at which point V will have the opportunity to interrogate him. This is the most crucial part of acquiring Johnny’s Porsche.

During the interrogation, despite Johnny and Rogue’s encouragement to kill Grayson, players must choose to spare him. The specific dialogue option to select is “[Put weapon away] Got lucky today.” Killing Grayson will permanently lock out the car, as he is the only one who knows the Porsche’s location, and that information dies with him. Resisting the urge to eliminate him, even under pressure, is paramount. Grayson, in return for his life, will provide V with an access card to a container. Rogue will then knock Grayson out and depart after a conversation with V. Following Rogue’s departure, Johnny will prompt V to locate the container and discover its contents.

Retrieving the Porsche

After obtaining the keycard from Grayson and Rogue has left, Johnny will instruct V to find the container. The Porsche 911 is locked inside this container, which requires the special keycard to open. The container is located near a crane.

To retrieve the vehicle, V needs to operate the crane controls. These controls are situated on a higher platform, specifically to the right of the container. Activating the crane will allow V to lower the container to ground level. Once the container is on the ground, V can approach it. Johnny will immediately recognize the container’s significance. Using the keycard, V can open the container to reveal Johnny Silverhand’s Porsche 911, sitting under a tarp. After pulling off the tarp and getting into the car, it will be added to V’s vehicle collection. From this point forward, the Porsche can be called in like any other owned vehicle.
