Excerpt from AOPA ePliot

LANCAIR GOES TURBINE
Kitplane manufacturer Lancair plans to offer a turbine-powered version of
its 
popular Lancair IV-P pressurized piston single. The airplane will use a 
Czech-built Walter 601E turboprop engine of 700 shaft horsepower, and may 
be capable of hitting cruise speeds of 340 to 350 knots at 25,000 feet. 
Specifications have yet to be finalized, but a Lancair spokesman said that
the 
engine--along with its 82- to 84-inch-diameter, three-blade propeller--will
be 
offered as a $7,500 option to the existing, $102,900 Lancair IV-P kitplane.
The 
option includes the engine and propeller, along with a different firewall, 
engine mounts, and cowling. The cowling will be about one foot longer than
the 
IV-P's. The first flight is expected in six months, although Lancair is 
currently taking orders for the turbine option.
