Oilstainlab unveils supercar HF-11 – also with electric drive
Oilstainlab, founded in 2019, is run by brothers Nikita and Iliya Bridan and is based in Signal Hill, California. The super sports car now presented is derived from an earlier concept car called Half11 and takes its visual cues from the Le Mans racing cars of the 1960s. It will launch as a drivable prototype in spring 2025 and as a small series model in 2026. The manufacturer will build a maximum of 25 units for 1.85 million dollars net each (combustion engine) or 2.35 million dollars each (BEV).
The following is known about the car: The HF-11 measures 4.34 x 2.05 x 1.12 metres with a wheelbase of 2.72 metres. Thanks to a carbon monocoque and a carbon fibre composite body, the car weighs just 907 kg. Oilstainlab installs the motor unit between the passenger cell and the rear axle. The electric drive should offer up to 640 kW of power. The startup has not yet provided any further details on the motorisation, battery, or charging capacity.
Visually, the scissor doors, the unconventionally opening front and rear sections, and the strongly undercut side areas are particularly striking. The two-seater does not have a boot in the traditional sense. Only the inside of the doors offers storage space. In the cockpit, carbon seats and a steering wheel that is flat at the bottom catch the eye.
“Five years ago, we knew to define our future we needed to build our past, the Half-11 Prototype—a vehicle that would defy reality. It became a myth, our time machine,” said Iliya Bridan, co-founder of Oilstainlab. “In the years since, we have distilled that vision of nostalgia, driven ourselves half-mad in technology and engineering. And finally, today we are proud to reveal our maniacal HF-11 to the world.”
