Cyberpunk 2077's Ken Block Tribute: Finding and Owning the Type-66 Hoon

Cyberpunk 2077’s Type-66 Hoon is a heartfelt Ken Block tribute, blending Hoonigan style with iconic Easter egg appeal.

CD Projekt Red has quietly turned a corner of Night City into a heartfelt memorial for rally legend Ken Block, and years after the 2.0 update rolled out, players are still hunting down the secret machine. The Type-66 Hoon is not just another car on the list—it is a rolling tribute that wears its Hoonigan inspiration on every fender. Even in 2026, it remains one of the most talked-about Easter eggs in Cyberpunk 2077, and for good reason.

For anyone late to the party, Ken Block died in a snowmobile accident in early January at the age of 55. His passing ended an illustrious career that began in rally racing and grew into Hoonigan Industries, the California-based automotive apparel and media company that became synonymous with aggressive, smoke-heavy driving. Because Block had a long history of gaming collaborations, developers and fans quickly looked for ways to honor him. CD Projekt Red answered with something that feels less like a marketing nod and more like a secret handshake for gearheads.

The in-game tribute is based on the Quadra Type-66, but it is impossible to miss the inspiration. The black-and-green livery, the boxy silhouette, and the overall street-racer attitude all point directly to the Hoonigan Ford Mustang RTR, better known as the Hoonicorn. CD Projekt Red did not copy the car exactly—licensing likely played a role—but the overall design is instantly evocative. The car practically screams rally pedigree.

On the side of the vehicle, players can spot a prominent '43' sticker, matching Block's car number. Next to it, the tagline 'K.B. 67-23' quietly references his birth and death years. It is a small detail, but it does a lot of heavy lifting. The machine is officially called the Type-66 Hoon, a name that could not be more direct.

The Type-66 Hoon was first spotted by a Reddit user named hoonyosrs in a Northside warehouse while completing the Epistrophy side quest, which sees V help Delamain recover rogue AI cabs. Since the 2.0 update, the car can be found in that same spot regardless of mission progress. No need to wait for a specific quest to pop up.

Here is the simple route:

  • 🗺️ Head to the Northside area in Watson.

  • 🏭 Find the warehouse where the Epistrophy quest leads, or explore nearby industrial buildings.

  • 🚘 Look for the Type-66 Hoon parked inside.

Honestly, the hardest part is remembering to look down. Unlike some tribute vehicles in games, the Type-66 Hoon is not just a display piece. V can actually own it. To add it to the garage, players only need to find the hidden keys. They are tucked in a box below a sloped plate located in the immediate vicinity of the vehicle. Once the keys are in hand, the car is yours.

That accessibility is a nice touch. Some Easter eggs are easy to see but impossible to keep; this one respects the player's time and garage space. The Type-66 Hoon became the eighth variant of the Quadra Type-66 available in Cyberpunk 2077, and it is easy to argue it is the most personal.

CD Projekt Red's tribute is not the only one. Forza Horizon 5 honored Ken Block back in January with Hoonigan-branded equipment and a drivable version of the Hoonicorn. The Cyberpunk 2077 addition arrived later in 2023 as part of the comprehensive 2.0 update, which launched on September 21. The update itself was exclusive to PC and current-gen consoles, so last-gen players on PS4 and Xbox One missed out on this hidden gem. As of 2026, the current version of Cyberpunk 2077 continues to support the tribute across modern platforms.

For anyone who grew up watching Block's gymkhana videos or simply appreciates a well-made automotive Easter egg, this is a no-brainer stop on any Night City tour. It is also a reminder of how games can preserve a person's spirit in a way that feels interactive rather than solemn. The car sits there, engine cold but personality intact, waiting for someone to light it up. If you have not grabbed the keys yet, the warehouse is still open.
