Not to put too fine a point on it - you probably meant contra-rotating propellers as opposed to counter-rotating props e.g. the P-38 Lightning.

Cobalt's Valkyrie: Bruce Wayne's new private plane?

Quote:
Looking more like a high-tech fighter than a light plane designed for private use, the Valkyrie from Cobalt aircraft has just been launched. With a canard front wing, sleek aerodynamic shape and a turbocharged 350 hp (260 kW) engine, the new Valkyrie is claimed to be capable of traveling at speeds of up to 260 knots (482 km/h, 300 mph) and has capacity for up to five adults and their luggage.

It's basically a rebodied version of the Ford Pampa, a local derivative of the Renault R12 platform.
