What is that ferrari plane called?

I saw it on daily planet, it's a turboprop private plane. I think it holds the speed record.|||The avante is a nice little plane heres the site and pics to go with it The Mustang P51-H with 2271 hp at 487mph @ 25krpm was a very fast one for a propeller motivated plane... in super "Emergency Combat " mode it exceeded 500+ mph which consider that 1 air mile speed = 1.5 ground mile speed, that is pretty fast no?|||Death trap - italian engineering lasts about 5 minutes between failures.|||Randy is correct, I will add that it is a push prop and if you have ever been around one, you will know, weird looking and INCREDIBLY loud!|||The twin pusher turboprop operated by Ferrari is the Piaggio P-180 Avanti.|||It's the Piaggio Aero P180 Avanti. It is often called the Ferrari plane because Piaggio Aero's chairman is Piero Ferrari, son of Enzo. He and a partner control 55% of the company's equity.
