THE PAST OVERTAKES THE FUTURE

Founded in 2019 by twins Nikita and Iliya Bridan, Oilstainlab is anchored in the past with a bold eye for the future. For five years, they've tested their 1960’s inspired Half-11 prototype globally, writing their own history along the way. This vision attracted world-class talent, fellow maniacs, leading to the creation of the all-new HF-11. A true distillation of their “the past overtakes the future” pursuit.

“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,” confessed 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.”

UNCOMPROMISING VISION AND DESIGN

Oilstainlab has never been average. The new HF-11 builds on the brand’s notoriety in the automotive space, strengthening further the brand’s leadership and legacy. To bring this no compromise vision to market, many key firsts and innovations were required:

• Advanced Aerodynamics – Substantial resources were allocated to Oilstainlab’s aerodynamic CFD partners from day one of the program. Early engineering flexibility shaped the very unique ground effects aero package, retaining a minimal design, while maximizing aero performance and balance across many use cases.
• Bespoke Carbon Monocoque – Designed with Oilstainlab’s global partners, this state of the art monocoque is completely bespoke. Over 3,500 hours across two years of joint effort have been spent on this innovative design, offering exceptional modern safety, engineering, technology, ergonomics, and driving experience. The monocoque reflects Oilstainlab’s refusal to compromise in any single facet.
• No Height Restrictions – Optimized for 6’3” drivers with a helmet, offering better vision angles, egress and ingress than the competition. Oilstainlab left ergonomics in the past, using modern science and prior OEM experience to craft a comfortable cabin.
• Thunder-Volt – A quick swapping system allows the HF-11 to run a variety of engine types: an all-electric setup, or a gasoline powered mid-mounted flat-six engine. Both can be shifted via a choice between a 6-speed manual transmission or quick shift 7-speed sequential gearbox.
• Proportions of Joy – Oilstainlab’s manic obsession for packaging allowed the vehicle to retain the smallest, most lightweight footprint possible, a key in driving joy. Every component, every function integrated in pursuit of mechanical singularity.

MANIAC DRIVERS WANTED

“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. “They have been drawn to Oilstainlab, and we to them. Now with the project public, we are excited to recruit our family of maniacs globally, and can’t wait to start testing with our dedicated team and clients.”

The HF-11 is limited to a total run of 25 vehicles. With first deliveries scheduled for 2026. Base price for the street legal and socially irresponsible HF-11 is $1,850,000. Each car can be uniquely tailored to the owner’s specifications with the help of design specialists.
