Fastest production is probably the Mooney 252 series (now called
TLS/Bravo). These will do 220 KTAS. For new planes, the pricetag is
similar to the Lancair, although an older 252 would be $150k+.

Just a small nit. The Mooney 252 and the TLS/Bravo are different
airplanes, although both are turbocharged.

They have different airframes, type certificates, model numbers, etc.

If memory serves, the TLS/Bravo is an M20M, and the 252 is an M20K.

(The M20 series includes, I believe, just about every airplane that Mooney
produced except, perhaps, for the Mooney Mite).
