The allure of Johnny Silverhand's Porsche 911 remains one of Cyberpunk 2077's most iconic automotive treasures. This sleek piece of history isn't just transportation—it's a time capsule from the rockerboy's rebellious era, parked alongside the newer Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet introduced in the Phantom Liberty expansion. Both vehicles capture distinct vibes of Night City's car culture. Acquiring them involves navigating complex character relationships and completing specific quest chains that test V's connection with Johnny. The journeys reveal fascinating layers about the game's lore while rewarding players with two of the most visually striking rides available. Timing and dialogue choices become crucial when pursuing these mechanical masterpieces, making each acquisition feel uniquely personal.
Securing Johnny's Vintage 911
Unlocking this classic requires progressing through main story missions until "Tapeworm" activates, which then triggers the "Chippin' In" side gig. Maintaining positive rapport with Johnny proves essential—select non-confrontational dialogue options whenever possible. Miss this relationship balance, and you'll forfeit not just the car but also Johnny's iconic pistol and Samurai jacket. The Porsche hides inside a sealed container near the docks, accessible only with Grayson's keycard obtained at Afterlife bar. Critical choice point arises when interrogating Grayson: spare him despite Johnny's protests about weakness. This mercy prompts Grayson to reveal the container location.
Players then maneuver a crane from an elevated platform to lower the cargo. The controls sit directly right of the target container—a clever spatial puzzle. Once grounded, swipe the keycard to reveal the legendary machine. This remains among the earliest free vehicles obtainable, its retro curves contrasting sharply with Night City's neon jungle.
Phantom Liberty's Porsche Cabriolet Journey
The 911 Turbo Cabriolet offers a modern counterpart to Johnny's classic, though its $73,000 Autofixer price tag stings. Fortunately, completing gigs for El Capitan unlocks progressive discounts across all vehicles. Persist through enough jobs to trigger "Shape of a Pony," which sends V hunting a Johnny-obsessed thief who stole the Cabriolet. Tracking the Wraiths through Badlands leads to a desert showdown where claiming the keys grants a thrilling test drive. Upon returning to Night City, El Capitan gifts the car permanently—no eddies required. This convertible's enhanced performance specs justify its popularity since Phantom Liberty's 2023 debut.
Owning both Porsches creates an interesting garage dynamic. The vintage 911 embodies raw, analog driving pleasure while the Cabriolet delivers tech-enhanced precision. Collectors appreciate their complementary histories—one representing the past's anarchic spirit, the other showcasing 2077's automotive evolution. CD Projekt Red's attention to detail shines through each model's handling characteristics and cockpit design.
