News Source : New Atlas
News Summary
- Oilstainlab's HF-11 is a modern supercar with swappable powertrains.
- The design is a combination of 1960s cars, Italian design and coachbuilding, combined with modern engineering and our experience working for major manufacturers.
- Nikita Bridan, one of two twin brothers who founded the firm, shed light on the intricacies of how Oilstain lab’s first-ever car is coming about.
- The car clearly draws inspiration from the 1966 Porsche 911.
- It wasn't driven by a particular shape as much as by the desire to create an experience for both the driver and passenger.
- The first car attracted a lot of attention, and in 2023 we began developing a new vehicle based on the feedback and interest it generated.
- We love combustion engines, electric vehicles, technology, the past and the future.
- Those interests might seem contradictory, but combining them is precisely what makes the work exciting.
- People often complain that cars are becoming heavier, but carbon fiber and other advanced materials give us ways to address that.
- There are fewer excuses for accepting compromises than there used to be.
Modern supercars often follow a similar script outrageous power, expansive screens, aero components, and a price tag that could buy you a rather nice house.
