Porsche 911 II (930) Turbo

The Porsche 911 II (930) Turbo is a vehicle manufactured by Porsche in.

Overview
Originally intended to meet homologation requirements for Group 4, the 911 Turbo was Porsche's first turbocharged 911, featuring wider fenders and its signature "whale tail" design to aid engine cooling that differentiates it from standard 911s of the era.

It took fifth place in the "Car of the Century" award in 1999.

Silverhand's Porsche
The Porsche 911 Turbo is the signature customized vehicle of legendary rockerboy Johnny Silverhand, lead singer of Samurai. This specific Porsche was manufactured in 1977. When Johnny got his hands on it many years later, he customized it to represent his band. It is also overall a tuned vehicle.

In the following decades, Johnny would cruise through Night City with it. It was also the car Johnny drove while dating Rogue Amendiares when they were younger. She has good memories of that time.

After Johnny's death in 2023, a former pararescue firefighter known as Samantha Stevens recovered Silverhand's car. She kept hidden in her garage for decades, preserving the vehicle in its pristine state. Unfortunately, Samantha died of cancer due to her having accessed the Hot Zone shortly after the nuke went off.

At some point later, Adam Smasher acquired the rockerboy's possessions from Samantha's place, including the car, which ended locked up inside a cargo container in the Ebunike Docks of Night City until 2077. It was then when V and Rogue's assaulted the docks to find information about Smasher, though ending up finding Grayson instead - Smasher's "right hand". He had the keys to the car, and after obtaining them, V opened the container and got their hands on the 911 Turbo, to the surprise and enjoyment of Johnny's engram. Rogue was also surprised to see the car if V managed to convince her to have a date with Johnny.

Database Entry

 * An all-time classic and king among 1% wannabes - the Porsche Turbo 911 II (930) is one of the most iconic cars in automotive history. Not many are left in the world, but the ones that remain are each worth their weight in gold. Its sleek, compact appearance is unmistakable - who wouldn't want one? Sadly, none could ever hope to look as cool behind the wheel as Johnny Silverhand.

Acquisition
The Porsche 911 Turbo can be obtained during the Chippin' In quest, right after the fight against Grayson. You can either spare him so he gives you the keys to the car, or take them from his body if you decide to kill him. Afterwards go to the ladder on the starboard of the ship, and activate the button you'll find up there. One of the containers will be lifted down. Just go there, open the container doors and take the car for yourself.

Development
The developers worked alongside with Porsche to accurately recreate the car in-game as well as the changes made to fit the in-game world. The changes from the real-world model include LiDAR for self-driving capabilities, cameras instead of mirrors, self-changing transmission, various drive modes (almost directly lifted from current-day Porsche models), and the ability to run on biofuel.

Porsche themselves also made a one-off real-world recreation of the car that was on display at the Porsche Museum from October 15 to 22, 2020; while it did not feature any of the futuristic changes, it does have the livery that dons Silverhand's car in the game.

This car is unique in that it's the only real-world automobile included in the game, and is one of the two vehicles in the game manufactured by real-world companies (the other being the ARCH Nazaré).
