TECNAM INTRODUCES FOUR-SEAT TWIN
Tecnam Aircraft of Italy has been building a reputation in the United States
with its entry into the light sport aircraft arena. Now the company is taking
the FAA type certification route by introducing a piston twin-engine
airplane. Called the P2006T, it will be powered by two Rotax 912 engines
mounted on a high wing and carry four people. Tecnam predicts it will cruise
at 147 knots, climb at 1,400 fpm (single-engine rate of climb 350 fpm), and
have a useful load of 1,012 pounds. The predicted price is between 230,000
and 240,000 Euros. Under current exchange rates, that's between $273,905
and $285,814. The maiden flight is planned for September 2006.

100 horsepower doesn't sound wonderful but otherwise this looks interesting.
