How to Get Johnny’s Car in Cyberpunk 2077 (Porsche 911 Guide)
Get Johnny’s original Porsche 911 by completing the “Chippin’ In” main quest, sparing or killing Jeremiah Grayson at the Ebunike docks, then lowering the shipping container with a nearby crane. A second Porsche — a Cabriolet with a Samurai paint job — can be bought from AutoFixer for 73,000 eddies after the 2.1 update. This guide covers the exact steps for both cars.
Quick Answer
Johnny’s original Porsche 911 Turbo (930) comes from the “Chippin’ In” main quest — spare or kill Jeremiah Grayson at the Ebunike docks, then use the crane to open his shipping container. A second Porsche, the 911 Turbo Cabriolet with a Samurai-themed paint job, can be bought from El Capitan’s AutoFixer website for 73,000 eddies (2.1 update onward).
Johnny Silverhand’s Porsche 911: Two Ways to Get It
Cyberpunk 2077 actually has two distinct Porsche 911s tied to Johnny Silverhand’s story, added at different points in the game’s development. The original is the silver Porsche 911 Turbo (930) from Johnny’s own timeline in 2013, obtained through a main story quest. The second is a newer Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet with a custom Samurai-band paint job, added in the 2.1 update and bought rather than found. Both are covered below.
How to Get Johnny’s Original Porsche 911 (Chippin’ In)
Johnny’s original Porsche 911 is tied to the main quest “Chippin’ In,” which becomes available after completing “Tapeworm.” Here’s how to get it:
- Progress the main story to and through “Chippin’ In.” During earlier Johnny-related quests, choose friendly, non-confrontational dialogue with him — being cold to Johnny can affect whether this content triggers correctly.
- During “Chippin’ In,” head to the Ebunike docks and search a ship for Adam Smasher, as the quest directs.
- On the ship, you’ll find Jeremiah Grayson. You can either spare him or kill him — either choice lets you take his keys to Johnny’s car.
- Head to a nearby crane and use its controls to lower a shipping container to the ground.
- Approach the container and open it. Johnny’s Porsche 911 is inside under a tarp — pull the tarp off, get in, and drive away. The car is now yours permanently and can be summoned like any other owned vehicle.
How to Get the Newer Porsche 911 Cabriolet (2.1 Update)
Patch 2.1 added a second Johnny-adjacent Porsche: a 911 Turbo Cabriolet with a unique Samurai-inspired paint job, sold through a completely different method than the original — no main-quest choice required, just eddies and a short side gig.
- Find any net-access terminal or AutoFixer console in Night City and open the AutoFixer website.
- Scroll down to the “Other” section and select the Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet. It costs 73,000 eddies (El Capitan’s discount coupons from his car-retrieval gigs or the 2.1 update’s repeatable races can reduce this).
- After purchasing, you’ll get a text from El Capitan saying the delivery went wrong — this starts the short side gig “Shape of a Pony.”
- Loot an NPC named Johnny Silverman for coordinates, then head to a small, lightly-guarded Wraith camp in the Badlands.
- Clear the camp and loot one of the Wraiths for the car’s key, then drive it out.
- Contact El Capitan to confirm you’ve recovered the car and complete the gig — the Cabriolet is added to your garage for summoning afterward.
Original Porsche vs. Cabriolet: Which Should You Get?
| Porsche 911 | How You Get It | Cost | Customizable |
|---|---|---|---|
| Original 911 Turbo (930) | Main quest “Chippin’ In” (spare/kill Grayson) | Free (story reward) | No, in the base game |
| 911 Turbo Cabriolet | AutoFixer purchase + “Shape of a Pony” side gig | 73,000 eddies | No, but has a unique Samurai livery |
Since both cars are free of any real gameplay stat differences and neither can be customized in the vanilla game, the choice mostly comes down to which one you can access first: the original if you’re already deep into Johnny’s story quests, or the Cabriolet if you have 73,000 eddies to spare and want the convertible with the Samurai paint job.
“A lot of players miss the Porsche entirely on their first playthrough because they play Johnny too coldly during the earlier quests. If you want the car and the best ending path with him, keep your dialogue choices sympathetic well before you ever reach Chippin’ In.”

Troubleshooting: Car Not Spawning or Quest Not Progressing
If Johnny’s Porsche doesn’t appear as expected, a few common fixes resolve most cases:
| Issue | Likely Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Container won’t open at the docks | Crane wasn’t used to bring it down first | Return to the crane controls and lower the container before approaching it |
| “Shape of a Pony” won’t start | Cabriolet purchase notification missed | Check your messages/texts, or wait a moment after buying before traveling elsewhere |
| Wraith camp NPC has no key | Wrong Wraith looted | Clear the whole camp and check each downed enemy |
| Car missing from garage after completion | Save/load desync (rare bug) | Reload an earlier autosave from just before the final quest step |
Frequently Asked Questions
How can I unlock Johnny’s car in Cyberpunk 2077?
Complete the main quest “Chippin’ In,” spare or kill Jeremiah Grayson at the Ebunike docks to get his keys, then use the nearby crane to lower the shipping container holding Johnny’s Porsche 911. The car is yours to keep and summon afterward.
Where is Johnny’s car located in Cyberpunk 2077?
The original Porsche 911 is inside a shipping container at the Ebunike docks, accessed during “Chippin’ In.” The newer 911 Cabriolet is purchased through El Capitan’s AutoFixer website and then retrieved from a Wraith camp in the Badlands during “Shape of a Pony.”
Do I have to kill Jeremiah Grayson to get the car?
No. You can either spare or kill Jeremiah Grayson at the docks — either choice lets you take his keys and claim the Porsche. The decision affects his fate, not whether you get the car.
Can I customize Johnny’s Porsche 911 in Cyberpunk 2077?
No, not in the base game — neither the original Porsche 911 nor the newer Cabriolet can be repainted or upgraded through vanilla gameplay. The Cabriolet does come with its own unique Samurai-band livery by default. PC players can install community mods that add paint options for both cars.
How much does the Porsche 911 Cabriolet cost?
The 911 Turbo Cabriolet costs 73,000 eddies through AutoFixer. Discount coupons earned from El Capitan’s car-retrieval gigs or the game’s repeatable street races can lower that price.
Conclusion
Johnny’s original Porsche 911 comes free through the “Chippin’ In” main quest by dealing with Jeremiah Grayson and opening his shipping container at the Ebunike docks. If you’d rather skip the story requirement, the 73,000-eddie Cabriolet from AutoFixer gets you a Samurai-themed 911 through the short “Shape of a Pony” side gig instead. Either way, you’ll have an iconic piece of Night City’s car culture parked in your garage.
