Slightly bigger is the cessna 421. The Alabeo model is decent.

Love this plane.

There's an engine mod for the c421 here at Avsim...first rendition was screwed up but the guy updated it it's pretty good!  Just search alabeo it's probably on the most recent.

It may lack the number of seats you are looking for, but if you just want to fly a fast piston twin why not the  P-38?

Check out the MilViz KingAir 350i. 300+ knots.

Flight1 KingAir 200.  290 Knots

I realize these are not piston but they are worth having a look at.

About 35 years ago I had a ride in a Mooney 252 and up high it trued at 220. Same with a Malibu in the mid 1980s..... 220 knots.

Also have a look at the PC12. years ago I flew a Saab340B & B+ and true was approx 270 +/- knots......there was a PC12 doing the same leg more than once and it would pass us.

Thank you all. I have some fast turbine twins and they are great, but I was looking for a piston twin that is faster than the Duke (4 or 6 seater).

Piper Aerostar if you can find one. Fastest piston twin ever made if I'm not mistaken. 
 

For that matter, the Baron has 25 mph in cruise on the Duke.

Wasn't A2A doing an Aerostar? They have a picture of a real one on their FB page.

Ya they are at least they had some shots of it in that old update.  I presume they need to get their real one flying first

I think it was missing an engine in the last picture i saw.  An A2A Aerostar would be a dream though.

Do you have it working in p3d v5? 

Sorry for the delay - Time Zones !!

No --- I am not using V5 and no intentions of doing so

I run V4.5 without the latest hotfix - I recently moved to twin Biz jets that fly mid 200s - but have gone back to this lady

mainly because she is not "Glass" fitted - and old fashioned Nav - but she will take a GTN 750 which I used as a popup

I also have her older Brother - The AC Snipe 500 that is used by some for aerobatics - but a little slower

She flies so easy - doing a barrel roll is no problem 😉

The 690 is for both sims - and this vid is just the same really as P3D
