Building Cars is HARD w/ Oil Stain Lab

Nikita and Iliya Bridan are car designers behind the incredible and interesting Half-11 hypercar. They both spent years designing for various OEMs and have now struck off on their own. On this show we talk about the incredibly difficult development phase; making two powertrains work in one car; why an EV swap interests them; the hardest part about building cars; expensive windshields; what inspired them; and so much more.
