Damn 1 year? Its been a blurrrrrrrrrrrrrrr........

"Too much sanity may be madness — and maddest of all: to see life as it is, and not as it should be? Don Quixote - Cervates. The HF-11 interior, we see it as an asylum; from boredom. The routine. The digital. The white noise of repetition. Our asylum is an escape for those that refuse to lose their mind with everyone else, but rather forge a curious and beautiful inevitability. Pre-production* spec showcasing the unique packaging and design of the interior. The doors fit the spec matched helmets, and also offer storage with an interchangeable custom tote. Almost all the components are hanging off the tub, delicately positioned to highlight mechanical and analog beauty.

Ground Effects + Carbon Monocoque = HF-11 When we committed to serious ground effects for HF-11, it meant building our own carbon fiber monocoque. Why? Because everything under and inside a car is a set of trade-offs and every company chooses its compromises based on its values. Take the Aston Martin Valkyrie: its underbody is absolutely insane. Despite the F1, allusions its remarkable close to a deristricted LMP3 racer. To make it work, the occupants sit angled inward by 7°, with a super-tight couple distance and extreme H-point-to-ankle geometry. The result? A driving position that’s radical, beyond extreme, but unforgettable. It’s a once-in-a-generation car. With HF-11, we took a different path: one focused on usability. We worked to deliver a driving position that’s comfortable enough for daily use, while still achieving serious underbody aero and keeping a truly exotic experience. The end result? Beautiful air passages, real downforce, and a cockpit that doesn’t compromise ergonomics. Two different cars. Two different philosophies. Both extraordinary in their own way. What would you choose radical or usable for your dream garage?

Why pursue lightness in a world that often celebrates more? By investing in engineering, advanced software, and emerging technologies, we’ve created an approach that lives at the intersection of motorsport precision and luxury craftsmanship. These aren’t just structures — they’re finely tuned, detailed creations, closer in spirit to watchmaking than to mass manufacturing. Sometimes, less truly is more. At Oilstainlab, we set out to build lightweight cars, not because it’s easy, but precisely because it’s difficult. It’s a space where we can bring something unique, and where smaller, focused teams like ours can chase ideas that large companies often can’t justify. Designing for lightness demands clarity, a tightly defined purpose, and the willingness to question everything. Every component, every fastener, every load, every gram is both a challenge and an opportunity. What makes the pursuit so rewarding is the way every decision compounds. Saving weight in one area unlocks opportunities in another: a lighter chassis allows for smaller brakes, which reduces unsprung mass, which then influences suspension and chassis design. The cycle continues, and before long, the entire vehicle becomes a showcase of lightness. In a market where cars seem to grow larger and heavier each year, the decision to focus on weight can feel countercultural. Yet with new materials technologies and processes, its possible if you’re willing to take the harder path. It is often simpler and cheaper to add a bigger screen, more horsepower, or software tricks to mask mass. But those are surface-level fixes. True lightness changes the very DNA of a car. Pursuing lightweight design will never be the easy road. And perhaps that’s why so few continue to follow it..... Andrew Shedden CEng. MIMechE Iliya Bridan Nikita Bridan Joe Scarbo HRE Wheels

Car week 2025 schedule. Come say hi.

We are louder then you.

What does the next 6 months look like?

What if_? Le Mans 2025 was one for the books. A grid full of remarkable teams, wild engineering, and bold ideas taking on the world’s toughest race. Hypercar is borderline a spec series, but still, Ferrari has created a dominating dynasty. This time, a privateer team taking the overall win with their 499P. The first time in 20 years a privateer has done it since 2005's Champion’s Audi R8. - What if this is the new golden era for privateers? And what if we entered? Meet the HF-11r, the DNA of our HF-11 street car, reimagined for endurance, speed, and raw, unfiltered beauty. - And in case you missed it> "The ACO just announced that privateer Hypercars will be eligible to compete in the Asian Le Mans Series as a Pro-Am class starting with the 2026/27 season" We’re watching closely. #Oilstainlab #HF11r #LeMans #EnduranceRacing #WhatIf Gabriel Aubry Iliya Bridan Nikita Bridan Andrew Shedden CEng.

Good things take time: The multi year development process of the interior for HF-11, captured in a few images. Based around the initial layout of the original Half11, we learned so much, after storming the Hill at Goodwood, Ice Racing in Aspen and 3200 mile sin 4 days from Los Angeles to New York. The interior has been tested, critiqued, improved, modified and altered countless times throughout those 12000 miles. With HF-11 the first prototype parts are starting to be built and tested. Authentic materials, tactile surfaces, and ASMR obsession. We love the Braun objects of the 1960's, we chase that level of timeless beauty and function. The new interior is heavy and authentic where it needs to be, lightweight where we can afford to be, to try to hit our 910kg vehicle weight. With the technology today, its never been easier to go from the screen to the road, but this also comes at a cost, speed and easy often equals crap product. We are trying to change that, a timeless car is in no rush after all. Iliya Bridan Nikita Bridan
