Oilstainlab’s 1,200HP HF-11 supercar promises retro thrill for $1.8m

A new supercar has emerged from the American boutique performance scene and it’s turning heads for all the right reasons. Oilstainlab’s HF-11 blends raw nostalgia with cutting-edge engineering, boasting up to 1,200 brake horsepower and a driver-focused six-speed manual gearbox.

The HF-11, priced from $1.8 million, offers two internal combustion engine (ICE) options: a 4.6-litre six-cylinder delivering 600 bhp, and a wild 5.0-litre version revving to 12,000 rpm, pushing 1,200 bhp to the rear wheels. A third, electric variant will pack 800 bhp, making the HF-11 a versatile offering for collectors and performance purists alike.

In a market dominated by hybrid tech and lap-time bragging rights, Oilstainlab’s mission is different. “We’re not trying to be faster than anybody,” said co-founder Nikita Bridan. “We just want to put the biggest smile on the driver’s face.” Backed by components from Crawford Composites, a firm with ties to Le Mans and F1, the HF-11 features a lightweight carbon fibre tub and a sub-1,000 kg curb weight.

The company hasn’t released official 0-60 mph times, but estimates suggest a three-second sprint is well within reach. Pictures of a near-production prototype have already surfaced online, revealing classic proportions, aggressive lines, and track-ready presence. As pre-orders quietly open, only a handful of enthusiasts will get to own what may be the most soulful supercar of the decade.
