Oilstainlab has revealed its first production car, the HF-11 – an analog 650hp, 900kg hypercar that can be built to spec with both an internal combustion engine and an electric powertrain. It is unlike any other hypercar available today.
The company will build just 25 examples. Owners will get to experience a 4.5-liter naturally aspirated flat-six engine that revs to 12,000rpm as well as an electric option, both mid-mounted in the aerospace grade carbon-fiber monocoque. This is made possible with Thunder-Volt, a “quick swapping system” that enables the HF-11 to shift between two powertrain options.
Power will only be sent to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual or a seven-speed sequential automatic. More specifics on the flat-six engine and the electric motor are under wraps.
The HF-11 uses pushrod suspension with custom Ohlins dampers. It features a ground effect aero package, retaining a minimal overall design. This combined with the small footprint means that the HF-11’s proportions are oddly right.
Oilstainlab’s founders, brothers Nikita and Iliya Bridan, state that the it took them and their collaborative partners around 3,500 hours across two years to fully develop the carbon monocoque. The California-based company also said the HF-11 is optimized for 6’3” drivers with a helmet, offering “better vision angles, egress and ingress than the competition”.
“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, 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.”
“Over the last four years, we have been secretly building our company. A team scouted globally. Maniacs chosen for their unwavering passion, prior industry achievements and bold vision,” said Nikita Bridan, CEO, Oilstainlab.
Deliveries are scheduled for 2026 with a base price for the street legal version at US$1,850,000.
