The Piper Seminole, which cruises at 160mph, and the Diamond DA42, which cruises at 198mph. They're not currently making the DA42 because the engine builder is in receivership. Both of these planes are primarily used as trainers. Piper Seneca V's cruise at 196mph, and Beechcraft Barons cruise at 232mph.

A twin engine airplane is an airplane which has two engines for the purposes of redundancy and/or performance. Twin engine aircraft are considerably more complex to fly than single engine aircraft, and so the FAA requires a special multi-engine endorsement in order to operate them.
Díamond dA42 twinstar
Yes, there is such a thing as twin-piston calipers.
It was an American twin-boom, piston-engine heavy fighter of WWII.
An astoundingly beautiful airplane. Pictures are linked below.
There are many variables...especially when trying to decide what the "average" plane is. 1 knot = approximately 1.15 M.P.H. e.g. 100 knots = 115 m.p.h. Average (Typical Cruising) Speeds: Light Single Engine piston powered airplane - 110-130 knots. Light Single Engine Turbine Powered Airplane - 150-180 knots. Light Twin Piston - 180-200 knots Heavy Twin Piston - 200-250 knots Twin Turboprop - 250-300 knots Turbine (pure-jet) Powered Jetliner or Corporate Jet - 450 - 500 Knots Rocket Powered e.g. STS / Space Shuttle - 15,300 knots (It's also the fastest glider.) The speeds vary greatly between models. For example, some single engine pistons can't exceed 100 knots but another model / design can exceed 200 knots.
The ERJ-170 is a Brazilian built, twin engine, 70 passenger jet aircraft. It is built by Embraer.
The fastest certified, single engine, general aviation, piston aircraft is the Lancair 400. It is a 310 h.p., twin turbo-powered plane. It cruises at 230 knots (262 m.p.h.). The Mooney Acclaim Type S is now the fastest general aviation aircraft at 242 knots (278 mph). For the specifications, see http://www.mooney.com/acclaim-type-s/specifications-performance-3.html
Cessna is an aircraft manufacturer based in Kansas. They make business jets, single-engine turboprops and high-wing piston single-engine airplanes, and they used to make twin-engine piston aircraft. Clyde Cessna preferred to design his aircraft with a high wing above the cockpit. Cessna aircraft usually have this feature.
Which twin-engine plane are you referring to? If you get a Beechcraft King Air, which will fly 300 knots easy, 500 land miles will go by in a little under two hours. A Boeing 767, another twin-engine airplane, will fly that far in about an hour. And an F-15 fighter will do it in about 20 minutes if you fly at wide-open throttle.
