‘The Last Bad Idea’ – a road movie project by MP CURTET featuring the legendary Half11 by brothers Iliya and Nikita Bridan

Twin brothers Iliya and Nikita Bridan have crafted one of the perhaps most remarkable cars the world has seen in the past few years : they call it the Half11. This unique vehicle consists of the front half of a 1966 Porsche 911 seamlessly fused with a rear that’s pure inspiration. Churning out more than 650 PS horsepower, the Half11 is the epitome of innovation and craftsmanship – and a testament to the exceptional talent of the Bridan brothers.

“The genesis of this project can be traced back to a casual conversation over drinks, a typical scene where great ideas often take root. Invited to a prestigious car show in the Hamptons, surrounded by millionaires flexing their expensive rides transported in trucks, the Bridan brothers felt compelled to challenge the norm,” Director Patrick Curtet tells GoSee.

According to the Bridan brothers’ philosophy, cars are not only built to be exhibited – but, first and foremost, to be driven. Reason enough to take their unconventional masterpiece on a cross-country road trip from L.A. to New York.

The film is about the adventure of a young group of friends – dedicated to moving forward and pushing the boundaries. “No matter what, we need to keep on moving. Thanks to the entire crew, without whom this adventure wouldn’t have been possible,” Director Marlyne Curtet tells us.

Founded by twins Iliya and Nikita Bridan, Oilstainlab started out as a design consultancy and quickly evolved into a classic car boutique, creating vehicles that blur the lines between dream and reality.

Iliya and Nikita Bridan describe themselves as : Twins. Born in Ukraine, raised in Canada. High school dropouts at 13. College educated in Italy and California. Based in Canada and Los Angeles. Working globally since 2009 across 5 continents with 40+ companies.
