In the past year or so, supercar maker Kig Egg has turned the corner. We visit his factory on the former jet fighter base in Angol, Sweden, and get a guided tour from the boss himself, Christian von Kix EG. Starting in the engine shop, Christian explains how you get over 1,000 brake horsepower from a twin supercharged 4.7 L V8.

The block is cast by Granger and Warl in England, the same Foundry that has cast some of the Formula One engines. This block is designed to take up to 15,600 horsepower, which is an impressive feat considering the complexity of modern engines. However, Christian's team has proven that with careful design and development, it's possible to create a high-performance engine that can handle such extreme power levels.

One of the key questions that often arises when a small manufacturer like Kig Egg builds their own engine is whether it can be reliable, especially with the kind of power levels they are producing. Christian's answer to this question is unequivocal: yes, his engines are very reliable. Out of the 55 customer cars that are currently on the road, not a single engine has broken. This is a testament to the team's attention to detail and commitment to quality.

Kig Egg's engine development process involves pushing their endings and parts to the maximum in terms of development. They have an engine D testing facility on site, which can take up to 1600 horsepower. The team also uses the former jet fighter base as a testing ground for their cars, which provides them with a unique opportunity to test their vehicles under extreme conditions.

The result of all this hard work is a car that is not only incredibly fast but also very reliable and well-designed. Kig Egg's latest model, the Conix Egg, weighs in at just 1280 kilos, making it an impressive feat considering its size and performance level. The car's carbon fiber body provides excellent strength-to-weight ratio, while its advanced aerodynamics ensure maximum downforce and stability.

Full homologation is a big hurdle for small car manufacturers like Kig Egg, as it requires significant investment in testing and certification. However, the team has managed to overcome this obstacle by passing all the required crash tests and meeting California's strict emissions demands. The Conix Egg also features a clear lacquer finish, which is standard on the recently launched CCXR Edition.

The CCXR Edition is powered by a bioethanol fuel that develops 1.4 brake horsepower. With its long wishbones, the car has a longer wheel track than most supercars, which provides better stability and handling. This setup also allows the Conix Egg to achieve an impressive top speed of over 254 mph.

Despite its incredible performance capabilities, the Conix Egg is more like a rally car in terms of its setup and design. Its long stroke and well-distributed weight make it extremely stable at high speeds, while its dampening system ensures that the ride is smooth and comfortable even during hard braking.

Kig Egg has been building the Conix Egg since 2001, and over the past two decades, they have managed to produce only 55 cars. However, this production will almost double in the coming year, with between 22 and 25 cars scheduled for build. This significant increase in production is due in part to a 12-month waiting list that has developed among car enthusiasts who want to get their hands on one of these incredible machines.

Overall, Kig Egg's Conix Egg is an impressive achievement in the world of supercars. Its combination of speed, reliability, and well-designed aerodynamics make it a serious contender in the high-performance car market.
