How V Can Permanently Claim the Secret Quadra Type-66 'Hoon' in Cyberpunk 2077

Night City doesn’t leave gifts lying around without a catch. But sometimes the catch is as simple as a dusty warehouse, a dead racer’s dream, and Johnny Silverhand nudging V toward a set of keys. Tucked into the industrial sprawl of Watson’s Northside, an unmarked storage building hides one of the most iconic free vehicles in Cyberpunk 2077: the Quadra Type-66 'Hoon'. It’s loud, it’s gaudy, it’s covered in a livery that screams for attention, and it’s all yours if you know where to look. The optional side quest 'I’m In Love With My Car' has been a staple since the Edgerunners update, and even years later in 2026, it remains a favorite shortcut to a permanent set of wheels that oozes personality.

This isn’t some neon-lit showroom acquisition. To stumble onto it, V needs to venture into the Northside Industrial Park subdistrict of Watson. The area is a maze of factories, cargo containers, and abandoned warehouses that hum with the quiet menace of the district’s gangs. At the eastern edge of this zone, a cluster of empty warehouses sits partially open, their doors ajar like an invitation to anyone brave or stupid enough to poke around. No map marker leads here before the quest triggers, and no fixer sends a text. It’s pure exploration reward — or accidental discovery for a netrunner who took a wrong turn.

How the Quest Triggers

Walk into the correct warehouse, and the scene shifts from another dusty room to something out of a gearhead’s fever dream. A heavily modified Quadra rests on flat tires, coated in a thin layer of grime but still radiating speed even while stationary. As soon as V enters the immediate vicinity, the unmistakable digital flicker of Johnny Silverhand materializes. He’s leaning against a crate, arms crossed, with the kind of smirk that always means trouble — or a really good find.

Johnny doesn’t mince words. He’s genuinely impressed by the car’s build, and he points out the custom work that went into it. His enthusiasm is contagious. For a rockerboy who lived fast and died hard, seeing a machine bred for the same philosophy hits a nerve. This brief exchange officially activates the quest journal entry 'I’m In Love With My Car,' but the objective is refreshingly simple: find the key.

Scanning the Warehouse

The game doesn’t hold your hand here. No glowing yellow trail leads directly to the prize. Instead, V must pull up the scanner — that indispensable Kiroshi optic overlay — and slowly survey the area around the car. Crates, trash bags, discarded tools, old tires. The warehouse is a mess, but the scanner highlights interactive objects. The key isn’t sitting pretty on a table; it’s hidden inside a storage container partly buried under a pile of thick plastic trash bags.

Look near the car’s left side, close to a stack of forgotten industrial junk. The container looks like any other piece of scrap, but the scanner reveals its contents: a key fob, along with a few other minor items. Grabbing the keys is all it takes. There’s no combat, no skill check, no timed sequence. Just a moment of quiet triumph as the digital echo of ownership syncs to V’s personal vehicle library. From that instant, the Quadra Type-66 'Hoon' becomes permanently available for summoning via the vehicle call menu, free of charge.

The exact warehouse is easy to find if you know the landmarks. Use the Northside Industrial Park fast travel point and head east toward the shoreline. The target warehouse is the one with a partially rolled-up metal door and a faint odor of stale fuel. If you see graffiti of a stylized skull on an adjacent wall, you’re in the right place. Once the keys are collected, the car remains in the warehouse as a static asset, but you can summon the duplicate anywhere — leaving the original as a ghost of its former life, a monument to whichever Night City legend crashed here long ago.

Why the 'Hoon' Is Worth the Detour

For a free car, the Quadra Type-66 'Hoon' punches far above its weight class. Its handling sits somewhere between a drift missile and a muscle car, with rear tires that love to break loose on every corner. The livery — a bold mix of black, white, orange, and sponsor decals — pays homage to real-world rally racing and the late Ken Block’s Hoonigan brand. It’s a car that demands to be driven sideways, spraying dust and sparks through the Badlands or carving an obnoxious path through the downtown traffic. Johnny comments on it again if V takes it out for a spin, a rare moment of genuine appreciation from a man who usually mocks everything.

Pro tip: If you’re planning a chase-heavy gig or just want to impress Panam with some reckless driving, the Hoon is your best friend. It’s not the fastest car in the game, but its acceleration and ability to slide make it perfect for escaping from Tyger Claws or losing a corporate pursuit. Just be ready to countersteer.

A Few Quirks and Pointers

• No ownership lock: You don’t need any Street Cred or level requirement. This quest can be done as early as Act 2, the moment Watson opens up after The Heist.

• Scanner range: If you’re having trouble spotting the container, retreat to the opposite side of the warehouse and scan again. Sometimes the clutter gets in the way.

• Summoning glitches: In the 2.0+ patches, the car occasionally spawns a bit too close to V or gets stuck in narrow alleys. A quick save/reload or walking a few meters away before calling it again fixes the issue.

• Phantom Liberty synergy: If you’ve ventured into Dogtown, the Hoon’s rugged styling and off-road readiness make it a solid pick for the district’s chaotic streets.

The Legacy of the Abandoned Racer

Night City chews up dreamers and spits out wreckage, but some wrecks are worth preserving. This particular Quadra belonged to someone with taste and a death wish, a combination Johnny understands intimately. There’s no body in the warehouse, no shard telling a detailed backstory — just the machine and the ghost who won’t stop talking about it. It’s a bittersweet reminder that in a city built on chrome and violence, even the fast and furious eventually run out of road.

Yet the car remains, waiting for a new owner who can appreciate what it represents. For V, the Hoon isn’t just free transport; it’s a statement. A declaration that they’re willing to dig through the trash, listen to a dead rocker, and claim something with real soul. And once the engine roars to life for the first time, any sense of effort dissolves into tire smoke and the electric thrill of a perfectly timed drift through the rain-slicked streets of Watson.

So the next time you find yourself near Northside with an open schedule and a scanner full of curiosity, swing by that forgotten warehouse. Johnny will do the talking. You just need to drive.
