There are both 206 and 185 turboprops. My guess is that it is one of the two. http://www.bing.com/search?q=cessna+185+turboprop&qs=n&form=QBLH&pq=cessna+185+turboprop&sc=1-20&sp=-1&sk=&cvid=b98e81de853b44dd964c4de94d972ac7 http://www.bing.com/search?q=cessna+206+turboprop&qs=HS&pq=cessna+206+turb

I've read recently that Cessna is revamping it's engine selection to something completely new. The engine design currently used is all based on engines which were certified back in about 1930, and the world of fuels and engines has changed a lot in the 80 + years since then. One report I looked at
