Does anybody have any info about it ?

Think this is the Cessna you are talking about.

Last update was in March 2011, where Cessna confirmed the project was currently inactive.

I think those are two different aircraft we're talking about, the Cessna NGP from the wiki piece was Cessna's inhouse attempt to fill the niche that the Corvalis, nee Columbia, nee Lancair ES eventually occupied. ie a quick 4 seater piston.

The new turbo prop is more along the lines of the Piper Meridian.

the prototype is a mustang with single engine turboprop
The ident is N350CE pictures and articles with google.
FAA site confirms Cessna experimental single engine turboprop

I will be disappointed if they cancelled it.
waiting to see the Ravin 700
