Oilstainlab's HF-11: A Flat-Six Screamer That Doesn't Care About Your Feelings
A 12,000 rpm redline. A featherweight 907 kg chassis. A mid-mounted flat-six pumping 650 hp through either a 6-speed manual or 7-speed sequential box.
Oilstainlab isn't here to play nice with the established supercar order. They're here to make noise – literally and figuratively.
Analog Supercar in a Digital World
The California-based outfit has created something increasingly rare: a driver's car that prioritizes sensation over statistics.
No hybrid assistance. No turbochargers. No apologies.
Just a naturally-aspirated flat-six that howls to a motorcycle-like 12,000 rpm ceiling, mounted mid-ship in a carbon fiber monocoque developed entirely in-house.
The transmission options tell you everything about Oilstainlab's priorities. Choose the 6-speed manual if you've got functioning limbs and self-respect. Or select the 7-speed sequential if you're chasing lap times.
Limited to 25 Examples, 11 With Extra Insanity
Exclusivity comes standard at the $1.85 million entry point. Only 25 examples will ever exist.
Eleven of those will receive the "Maniac" pack. The company hasn't detailed what this entails, but the name suggests it won't make the car more civilized.
For the contrarians, Oilstainlab offers an electric option. But in a car designed around a screaming flat-six, choosing batteries seems like ordering a virgin whiskey.
Engineered for Humans, Not Spec Sheets
Unlike many modern supercars that accommodate only jockeys and contortionists, the HF-11 fits drivers up to 6'3" comfortably.
The interior draws inspiration from classic Porsche race cars – function dictating form, with minimal concessions to luxury.
Key specifications that matter:
- 650 hp from the naturally-aspirated flat-six
- 907 kg curb weight (2,000 lbs)
- 0-60 mph estimated around 3.2 seconds
- Carbon fiber construction throughout
- Porsche-inspired design language inside and out
While full performance figures remain unpublished, the power-to-weight ratio suggests something truly special.
The HF-11 represents a philosophical counterpoint to the current supercar landscape. No electrification (unless you insist). No turbos. No automatic-only transmission.
Just pure, mechanical, high-revving fury wrapped in carbon fiber. Old school made new.
