The world of Cyberpunk 2077 features new and advanced machinery, which you can also see in the vehicles. However, most of these can only be bought for an expensive price. But there are some that you can get for free. This guide will list all the free vehicles in Cyberpunk 2077 and teach you how to get them.
This guide contains major spoilers for some Cyberpunk 2077 quests.
All Cyberpunk 2077 Free Cars
Many of these free cars and motorcycles are sprinkled around the world of Cyberpunk 2077 or rewards for quests. They are all pretty straightforward in terms of obtaining them and will definitely have you riding in in style. The free vehicles and motorcycles in Cyberpunk 2077 are listed below along with detailed explanations on how to get them.
Hella EC-D 1360
The first free vehicle you can get in Cyberpunk 2077 is the Hella EC-D 1360 model. You will get access to this car early on in the story campaign. However, it will get wrecked shortly after due to an accident in a mission during Act 2. You will have to wait for some time for the car to get repaired.
Although the car is not that special in terms of speed or visuals, it does the job of taking you from points A to B in the game.
Jackie’s Arch
Jackie’s Arch is the name of Jackie’s motorcycle that you can see him driving around on. You can get this vehicle after completing the side quest called Heroes.
When Jackie dies after the incident in The Heist story mission, you will get the option to send his dead body back to Mama Welles or Viktor Vektor. Both choices will give you an alternative Heroes side quest.
If you send the body back to the family, you will get the keys from Mama Welles at the end of the quest. However, if the dead body was sent to Viktor Vektor, you will receive a message from Mama Welles that she has delivered Jackie’s belongings to V’s apartment. When you go there, you will see a small box near the entrance containing keys to the bike.
Jackie’s Tuned Arch
You can also get the tuned version of Jackie’s Arch, similar to how you get the normal version. However, you need to have selected the Nomad Lifepath at the start of Cyberpunk 2077 and have six Technical Attributes before The Pickup main mission.
During the mission, you will get a Nomad dialogue option when talking to Jackie. If you choose that option, Jackie will tune the bike as you suggested, and you will get the tuned version at the end of Heroes side job.
Scorpion’s Apollo
Another free motorcycle you can get is the Scorpion’s Apollo after completing the Life During Wartime mission involving Panam Palmer. Regardless of the consequence of the mission, you will receive this motorcycle from Panam after the quest as a reward.
Arch Nazare “Itsumade”
Arch Nazare “Itsumade” is given as a mission reward after completing The Highwayman side job. However, you will not have the side quest included in your journal. Check out our The Highwayman Side Quest guide to learn how to complete the quest. After you finish the quest, the motorcycle will get added to your garage.
Rayfield Caliburn
Rayfield Caliburn is the first Hypercar on the list that you can get for free. However, you need to have completed the Ghost Town main mission and have a Street Cred of 40. You will get the Murk Man Returns Again Once More Forever side job when you visit Badlands.
After tracking the side job, it will take you to Raffen Shiv hideout, where you go with Panam to take her revenge.
As you enter the tunnel and reach the middle, you will find the Rayfield Caliburn car inside a container. Sit inside, and it will be added to your garage.
Thorton Colby CX410 Butte
Colby CX410 Butte is another one of the cars that you can get for free without the need to do any missions.
You will find it in Badlands on the east side of the map. It will be near the Desert Film Set fast travel point. This car comes in two colors: orange and green. You can get the green one for $25,000 on the AUTOFIXER netpage. While the orange one can be acquired by completing the quest Dressed to Kill.
This is easily one of the worst free cars. It has poor acceleration, bad handling, and is terrible at offroading. If you’re interested in a Colby vehicle, save your eddies for the Thorton Colby “Vulture,” as it’s the superior Colby. It’s not free, but it’s worth the money.
Quadra Turbo-R V-Tech
The Turbo-R V-Tech is the car you see V driving in the trailers for the game. Although you don’t get it as your starting car, you can get it free after completing side jobs.
You need to complete the Gig: Life’s Work and then wait 24 hours for the next side job named Sex on Wheels. After you complete both of these side jobs, the car will be available in your garage.
Thorton Galena GA40XT “Rattler”
The Galena “Rattler” car is shown at the start of the game when you choose the Nomad Lifepath and is only available to that Lifepath. You can get the car after completing the These Boots Are Made for Walkin’ side job. Go to the marked location and talk to the girl there. You can either threaten her to give your car back or pay 100 Eddies to buy it from her. Either way, the car will be added to your garage.
Thorton Mackinaw “Beast”
You will get this vehicle as a reward from the final side quest of The Beast in Me questline. Before the big final race against Sampson, Claire will tell you that she wants her revenge. There are two choices you can make to either kill Sampson or spare him and convince Claire that it was the right thing to do, and both of these choices will give you the car as a reward. However, you should spare Sampson and convince Claire, as it will give you the chance to get another free vehicle on this list.
Thorton Mackinaw “Demiurge”
One of the rarest free vehicles in the game. The Thorton Mackinaw “Demiurge” is a highly modified Monster Truck Thorton. You can get this car by solving/beating the Arasaka Tower 3D arcade game at midnight and at 4:00AM, then waiting for the quest to unlock and give you coordinates to go to, and then standing on a mattress at said specific coordinates for 7-8 minutes real-time. At the point, the in-game deity Polyhistor will appear over you in a cutscene. Once it’s over, the “Demiurge” will be parked nearby.
Quadra Type-66 Cthulhu
The Quadra Type-66 Cthulhu is the other free vehicle that you can get from The Beast in Me side job. If you spare Sampson and convince Claire not to kill him, you will receive a text from Sampson after completing the mission that his car is repaired, and you can keep it as a reward for sparing him. Choose the “My priority’s winning” dialogue option when talking to Claire before the race and stop her from shooting Sampson to get the car.
If you managed to finish the race, or if Sampson gets killed, then the car will be up for purchase for $67,000 on the AUTOFIXER webpage.
Villefort Alvarado “Vato”
Villefort Alvarado is a part of the rewards that you get after completing the Beat on the Brat: The Glen side job. Beat on the Brat is a four-part questline, but to get this vehicle, you only need to complete the mentioned side job. You will be fighting Cesar Diego Ruiz, who is in need of money and bets the car on the fight. After you defeat him, you will get the option to take the car and money, only take the car or the money, or don’t take anything. The car is pimped out with gold color and stickers and is also the only one you can get in Night City. You don’t want to miss out on this exotic vehicle.
Delamain No. 21
After completing the Epistrophy side job and finding all seven lost cabs, you will get a message from Delamain after some time that the AI has gone rogue. It is part of a reward of the Don’t Lose Your Mind side job, and you will get the car if you choose the option to reset Delamain or set the multiple personalities free.
Archer Quartz “Bandit”
During the Ghost Town mission, if you choose not to help Panam and go along with your original mission and complete the quest, you will receive a message from Rogue that she admires you for staying loyal and gives you the Quartz Bandit vehicle for free.
Thorton Mackinaw “Saguaro”
Another one of the vehicles from manufacturer Thorton is the Mackinaw “Saguaro” that you can get after completing all side missions from Dakota Smith. You will get the Every Grain of Sand quest, which will give you the vehicle as a reward.
Quadra Type-66 640 TS
Also, another vehicle you can get after completing all side missions of Dino Dinovic. You will find the car in the garage of your apartment after you get the Gas Gas Gas quest.
Mizutani Shion “Coyote”
You will get the red and gray version of the Mizutani Shion car as a reward for telling Saul about the plan proposed by Panam during With a Little Help From My Friends side job. Choose the “Don’t wanna get involved.” dialogue option after listening to Panam’s plan and tell Saul about it to get the vehicle for free from Saul.
Porsche 911 II (930) Turbo
The vehicle that Johnny Silverhand used to drive in the 21st century can now be yours after completing the Chippin’ In side job. When you win the fight against Jeremiah Grayson during the quest, you can either spare him to get the car keys or kill him and get the keys from his body.
Quartz Type-66 “Hoon”
Type-66 “Hoon” is the new addition to free vehicles that you can get in Cyberpunk 2077 after the Update 2.0. It is also the first free weaponized vehicle in the game.
To get the vehicle, you need to head to the marked location on the map in Watson, Northside. As you enter the warehouse, you will see Johnny pop up beside the car.
However, the car will be locked and you will have to get the key from one of the crates behind the car. Scan the area and you will find the loot box. Loot the key from the box and the car will be added to your garage.
Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty Free Cars
Herrera Outlaw “Weiler”
This is undoubtedly one of the best free cars in Cyberpunk 2077. But, you have to earn it through a series of sucessful missions given by Muamar. First, complete eight regular vehicle contracts for Muamar. Then, initiate the special Baby Let Me Take You quest by talking to Muamar at the Rancho Coronado dam. Steal a medical supply truck from Arasaka docks, choosing whether to save an officer during the mission. Upon completion, Muamar will reward you with the coveted “Weiler” car. Drive fast to escape enemies and enter Muamar’s garage for your well-deserved prize!

This mission will allow you to free-roam in Dogtown.
