The majority of vehicles in Cyberpunk 2077 require having some level of Street Cred and Eddies in your pocket to acquire them. Fortunately, there are also quite a few that can be obtained for free, whether by knowing exactly where to look, or by completing certain missions.
Best free car
The good news is that the best car in the game is free. It is also quite easy to obtain, at least when you know its position and its conditions of appearance. It's the Rayfield Caliburn Black. However, you must have reached 40 in Street Cred and have completed the Ghost Town mission in Panam beforehand. It is therefore not possible to obtain it immediately after Le casse.
If you meet the conditions, it is in a container, in the tunnel near the destroyed hideout with Panam. It's quite simply the fastest car in the game.

In the absence of being able to unlock the batmobile immediately, here are much more accessible alternatives.
