Quadra Type-66 "Cthulhu"

The  is a modified version of the Type-66, a vehicle manufactured by Quadra in.

Overview
The Cthulhu is a customized Type-66 that was owned by the corporate and street racer Peter Sampson.

Sampson used the car during the Night City annual death races in which his rival Dean Russell - and Claire's husband - died. The following year, Peter raced with Cthulhu as the champion in the final race. Depending on the choices made during the event, he will either finish the race safely or crash the car, which will be then engulfed in flames. Nevertheless, the Cthulhu is eventually repaired and it's either given to V for free, or is sold by Regina Jones.

Database Entry

 * The Quadra Type-66 was built to race. And when you optimally tune it, add some extra juice, swap out the firmware for soft... that's when you unleash a real horror from your worst nightmares onto the streets.

Acquisition
The Cthulhu can be obtained by two different ways depending on the choices made during The Beast In Me quest chain.


 * Offered for sale by Regina Jones for 76,000. You will have to wait some days for her call offering the car, then you can retrieve it on the top level of Megabuilding H10's parking lot in Little China, Watson.
 * It is obtained for free after receiving a message from Sampson, who thanks V for convincing Claire to spare his life. You are then able to summon it (see "The Beast in Me" below for more details).

The Beast in Me
To obtain the Cthulhu for free, V has to proceed carefully at certain moments in The Beast in Me: Santo Domingo and The Beast in Me: The Big Race. After qualifying for the final race at the end of the former job, Claire will ask to speak to V about her husband Dean. Make sure to select the following dialogue options when they appear:


 * 1) "You sure it was murder?"
 * 2) "Sorry, Claire, but I can't help."
 * 3) "Okay, I'll still drive. But only to win."

During the final race, keep pace with Sampson's car. Note that choosing to race with Claire's car instead of one V owns is sufficient for this route. At a specific point along the highway, Sampson's car will become too damaged and he will pull off the course. Follow him (this will forfeit the race) until he crashes, then get out of the car with Claire to confront him. Make sure to trigger each of the limited-time dialogue choices that appear:


 * 1) "What's he mean?"
 * 2) "Wait, wanna hear this."
 * 3) "Claire, that true?"
 * 4) "Yeah. Let him go."

If all requirements were met, Claire will be persuaded to spare Sampson and drive back to her garage. She will also give her car - Beast - to V since she no longer wants to race. After the quest is completed, Claire will send V a follow up text within a day, and this will be followed by a separate text from Sampson 7-10 days later informing V that they now own the fully-repaired Cthulhu.

Trivia

 * The car is named after the fictional entity Cthulhu, created by H.P. Lovecraft.
 * One of the file names for this car is "dominic_truck." Considering this name, the type of car, its color, and bodywork; it is likely the "Cthulhu" is inspired by the black muscle cars driven by Dominic Toretto of the Fast & Furious franchise.

Bugs

 * During the video game's release first weeks, when you opened the car's trunk, the lid went through the spoiler. At some point this option was disabled, and in consequence it is not possible to access the stash.
