How to Get Johnny’s Car in Cyberpunk 2077 (Porsche 911 Guide)

Johnny Silverhand’s Porsche 911 (930) Turbo in Cyberpunk 2077 comes from the Chippin’ In side job, and unlike his jacket and gun it is not handed over automatically. You need Grayson’s access card, then you lower a shipping container on the Ebunike ship at the docks. This guide gives the steps, shows where the guides disagree, and lists what patches 2.1 to 2.31 changed. Game details can shift with patches, so quest names and rewards may differ on your version.

Johnny Silverhand’s Porsche 911: Quick Answer

• Car: the 911 II (930) Turbo, per PC Gamer’s Chippin’ In guide.
• Quest: the Chippin’ In side job, which unlocks after the Tapeworm main quest.
• Key step: deal with Grayson on the Ebunike, take or loot the access card, lower the container from the ship’s control panel, and open it.
• Missable: PC Gamer’s Johnny items guide flags the car as missable, so read the Grayson choices below before you act.
• Not the same car: the Porsche 911 Cabriolet sold on Autofixer since patch 2.1 is a separate vehicle.

Last checked against patch 2.31, the most recent patch listed on the official cyberpunk.net news page as of October 2026. Quest names, rewards and steps can change with later patches.

How to Get Johnny’s Original Porsche 911 (Chippin’ In)

Two PC Gamer guides and one GamesRadar+ guide cover this quest. They agree on the route, and they word a few details differently, which the next section lays out.

1. Finish Tapeworm. It is four short conversations with Johnny that trigger after Automatic Love, Transmission, Life During Wartime and Search and Destroy, per PC Gamer. Once the last one ends, Chippin’ In unlocks.
2. Start Chippin’ In at the Afterlife. Talk to Johnny there, take Misty’s pills and play through the sequence as Johnny. You learn about Jeremiah Grayson and the ship called the Ebunike.
3. Meet Rogue after waiting a day. PC Gamer says she pops the trunk of her car and gives you a replica of Johnny’s jacket, then you enter the Maelstrom-controlled docks together.
4. Find the Ebunike and reach Grayson at the bow. You take Johnny’s Malorian Arms 3516 pistol from him, and you can keep talking, including asking where Johnny’s body is.
5. Decide how to treat Grayson. This choice is what gets you the access card (details below).
6. Lower the container. GamesRadar+ says to climb the ladder to the platform on the left-hand side of the boat when you look past Grayson and use the control panel to lower the shipping container.
7. Open the container. Use the access card on it. Johnny’s Porsche 911 is inside, and per PC Gamer it is added to your vehicle list automatically. Johnny’s aviator sunglasses arrive shortly afterwards.

Kill or Spare Grayson: What Changes for the Car

The car does not depend on whether Grayson lives, only on getting the card. The sources describe the two paths like this:

Choice	What you get	Source note
Put weapon away (“Got lucky today”)	Grayson hands over the access card and says the item is in a nearby container	PC Gamer Chippin’ In guide; GamesRadar+ says he also tells you where to use it
Draw weapon (“Don’t want anything from you”) and kill him	You loot an Old Access Card and a Type 2067 attachment from the body	PC Gamer Chippin’ In guide; GamesRadar+ says he does not tell you where to use the card
Either path	You still have to find the control panel, lower the container and open it	All three guides

One naming difference: PC Gamer’s Johnny items guide calls the item a key, while the other two guides call it an access card. They describe the same step. PC Gamer’s items guide also words the rule as not drawing your weapon on Grayson, or looting the key if you kill him.

Where the Guides Disagree on Unlocking Chippin’ In

PC Gamer’s Chippin’ In guide says you only need to finish Tapeworm, and that Chippin’ In unlocks right after the Search and Destroy conversation. PC Gamer’s Johnny items guide instead says you have access after completing Rogue’s series of side jobs and that it is added to your journal some time after. If you cannot find the quest, check your journal and finish the remaining Johnny conversations first.

Neither guide asks for friendly dialogue with Johnny before the Porsche. The friendly choices are not for the car: PC Gamer lists the friendly dialogue choices for the Blistering Love side job, which is a separate quest that unlocks after you visit Johnny’s grave in the oil fields.

Where the Porsche Fits Among Johnny’s Other Items

PC Gamer’s Johnny items guide (updated 15 September 2023, ahead of the 2.0 update) shows how the car compares with his other belongings:

Item	How you get it	Automatic?
Tank top	Tapeworm main quest	Yes
Aviators, samurai jacket, Malorian Arms 3516	Chippin’ In	Yes
Porsche 911	Chippin’ In, via the Grayson card and container	No
Boots	Family Heirloom gig, unlocked after the Ghost Town main quest in Act 2	No
Pants	Psychofan gig, found in a suitcase in Kerry Eurodyne’s apartment (missable)	No

The car is the one Chippin’ In reward that needs an extra action from you.

What Patches 2.1 to 2.31 Changed

The official notes below were checked for anything affecting the car or Johnny’s role. Update 2.1, update 2.3 and patch 2.31 are linked; the notes for 2.2 and 2.21 are on the same news page.

Patch	Date on notes	Relevant changes
2.1	4 Dec 2023 (live 5 Dec)	Chippin’ In fix so Rogue no longer follows V around permanently. New Porsche 911 Cabriolet added to Autofixer.
2.2	10 Dec 2024	CrystalCoat paint changes extended to Herrera, Mizutani, Quadra and Villefort vehicles. After Act 1, Johnny sometimes appears in the passenger seat.
2.21	23 Jan 2025	Fixes for Johnny appearing duplicated or too rarely as a passenger; CrystalCoat texture and colour fixes.
2.3	16 Jul 2025	CrystalCoat opened to vehicles from partner brands, including motorcycles, with some models excluded. New option to tell Johnny to go away when he appears in the passenger seat.
2.31	11 Sep 2025	Fix for Johnny always spawning in the passenger seat when using the Delamain Cab service.

None of these notes lists a change to how Johnny’s Porsche is obtained. The only Chippin’ In entry is the Rogue fix in 2.1. The steps in this guide still follow the PC Gamer and GamesRadar+ walkthroughs, which were last updated in September 2023 and February 2025, so check your own game version if a step looks different.

Johnny in the Passenger Seat Is Not the Porsche

Players searching for Johnny and a car often mean a different feature. Since patch 2.2, Johnny sometimes appears in V’s passenger seat after Act 1 to comment on what is happening, and patch 2.3 added an option to tell him to go away after you look at him for a while. Per the 2.3 notes, he takes the hint and stays out of the passenger seat for a couple of days. This is separate from the Porsche from Chippin’ In.

The Newer Porsche 911 Cabriolet (Patch 2.1)

Patch 2.1 added a different car, the Porsche 911 Cabriolet. The official notes say to visit the Autofixer website for details, and GamesRadar+ lists it among the new Autofixer vehicles with the Brennan Apollo 650-S and several Nazare and Kusanagi models. It is bought rather than found, and it is not Johnny’s car.

	Johnny’s Porsche 911	Porsche 911 Cabriolet
How you get it	Chippin’ In side job, Grayson’s access card, container	Autofixer website
Added	Base game	Patch 2.1
Needs a quest choice	Yes, the Grayson card	No quest choice named in the official notes
Price	Quest reward	Shown on the in-game Autofixer listing

Winning the repeatable races, which unlock after The Beast In Me, earns eddies and a discount for the Autofixer website, according to the 2.1 notes and GamesRadar+. Patch 2.2 adds that Autofixer vehicles compatible with CrystalCoat carry a spray can icon, so look for it on the listing if paint matters to you.

Can You Customize or Sell Johnny’s Porsche?

Paint is the open question. Patch 2.2 brought CrystalCoat to Herrera, Mizutani, Quadra and Villefort vehicles and said colour cloning is not authorized on vehicles linked to quests. Patch 2.3 opened CrystalCoat to partner-brand vehicles and noted some models do not support it, such as job-related vehicles. No official note names Johnny’s Porsche, so whether it accepts a new paint job is unconfirmed. Selling is not covered by any guide or patch note cited here.

Troubleshooting: Container, Card or Quest Not Showing

Problem	Likely cause	What to try
Container will not open	It has not been lowered yet	Go up the ladder on the left side of the boat and use the control panel first, then use the card on the container
No access card after killing Grayson	Card not looted	Loot Grayson’s body; the card and a Type 2067 attachment are on it per PC Gamer
Chippin’ In missing from the journal	Unlock not triggered	Finish the Tapeworm conversations; PC Gamer’s two guides word the trigger differently
Porsche not in the vehicle list	Container not opened yet	Open it; PC Gamer says the car is added automatically afterwards

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get Johnny’s car in Cyberpunk 2077?

Finish the Tapeworm main quest so the Chippin’ In side job unlocks, then reach Grayson on the Ebunike ship at the docks. Either put your weapon away and take the access card he offers, or kill him and loot it, then lower the shipping container from the control panel on the ship and open it with the card. The Porsche 911 is inside.

Where is Johnny’s car in Cyberpunk 2077?

It is in a shipping container on the Ebunike, the ship moored at the Maelstrom-held docks. Per GamesRadar+, climb the ladder to the platform on the left-hand side of the boat when looking past Grayson and use the control panel there to lower the container.

What car is Johnny Silverhand’s car?

PC Gamer’s Chippin’ In guide names it the 911 II (930) Turbo, a Porsche. It is added to your vehicle list automatically once you open the container.

Do I have to be nice to Johnny to get the Porsche?

Not according to the guides cited here. They tie the car to Chippin’ In and to how you handle Grayson. The friendly dialogue choices PC Gamer lists are for unlocking the Blistering Love side job, a different quest.

Can I paint or customize Johnny’s Porsche?

Official patch notes for 2.2 and 2.3 add CrystalCoat paint changes for many vehicles, but they do not name Johnny’s Porsche, and patch 2.2 says colour cloning is not allowed on quest-linked vehicles. Treat paint changes on this car as unconfirmed and check on your own save.

Is the Porsche 911 Cabriolet the same as Johnny’s car?

No. The Porsche 911 Cabriolet was added in patch 2.1 and is sold through the Autofixer website. Johnny’s 911 comes from the Chippin’ In side job. They are two different cars.
