What 2 seat, twin engine GA plane???

The General Aviation Manufacturers Association says that on the US
registry the average age of a twin engine piston power plane with
fewer than 4 seats is 32 years, and that this is not increasing.

My question is ... WHERE ARE THESE PLANES? I've never seen twin
piston engine plane with fewer than 4 seats.

BTW, the average age of a four seat piston single ... 38 years.

I have a feeling that the 4 was a typo and they meant fewer than 6
seats.

Anyway, here's a 2 seat twin:

One of the aviation mags had an article some years back titled "I flew
a Lancer and lived".

Yes, but I don't think many of these were built.

Were there any popular fewer-than-four seat piston twins? What's the
most popular out of this probably very small group?

I know there have been homebuilts and some others that tried, but AFAIK,
the Lancer was the only one that actually made it into production, and
at that, I believe they only made a couple of dozen.

Ignoring of course miltiary aircraft.

This is a plane pretty much made specifically for filming National
Geographic type shows. It provides for the mounting of high def
cameras and gives the pilot the safey of two engines when flying at
tree top level. Sadly, I believe the spokesman for the plane died on
location filming some wildlife in Africa.
