OILSTAINLAB Debuts 1200 HP/12000 RPM HF-11 With A Swapple EV Powertrain

If you are remotely interested in racing or supercars in general the term Half-11 should be enough to send you giggling thanks to its sheer ridiculousness and insane engineering. Sadly, it was just a one-off, but the company behind it is looking to produce 25 units of its equally woah-inducing successor, the HF-11.

The HF-11 looks just like a Half11. A blend of Porsche, Pagani, and Koenigsegg and vintage racecars like the iconic 917 K and Can-Am Chapparal 2J. The doors go up as does the clamshell hood and rear bonnet. 

Nikita and Iliya Bridan, the twins behind the company are looking to gift a 2000-pound curb weight thanks to an all-carbon tub and body panels, that’s even lighter than the GMA T.50, a car they have directly competed against, at least in the official spec sheet.

The panels will be mounted upon a Docol R8 high-strength steel subframes and the whole body of HF-11 will be aerodynamic enough to produce 1298 pounds of downforce at 150 mph.

The HF-11 will feature a mid-mounted flat-six in two configurations and will have a weight distribution of 45/55 front to rear. 

A 4.6 L Flat 6 revving up to 9000 rpm is standard producing up to 600 hp. A bombastic 5.0 L Flat Six is also available in a pre-production spec sheet that revs up to V12 killing 12,000 RPM and producing 1200hp. The engine will be mated to either a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed automatic. 

An 800 hp+ EV powertrain will also be available that can be swapped with a flat 6 engine via removable subframe assemblies.

The power will be routed to the rear wheels only via a Limited Slip Differential. All four corners will be shod with a massive Michelin Pilot Cup 2 Rs measuring 275 font and 335 rear.

Just like the Mustang GTD, the Half-11 will have an inboard pushrod for a better center of gravity comprising custom-adjustable Ohlins. A manual or power steering rack is also available.

The HF-11 will cost around $2,350,000, which still seems like a bargain when you look at the pre-production specs and compare it to $3 million+ offerings like T.50, the recently launched McLaren W1, and Czinger 21C.

Oilstainlab is a refreshingly unhinged company that has never disappointed when it comes to building one-off, jaw-dropping, deceivingly raw, and brutal cars. The HF-11 is their first attempt at a production series automobile and the spec sheet alone has got us feeling all fuzzy, can't wait to drive the real thing in person if I ever get a chance, that is.
