I don't believe the '25 was ever sold as a twin jet, but there was one converted by the owner. (in Australia, I believe)

Wikipedia showed an AH-25J, but yeah that was likely the 25M conversion.

They also do list a self-launch with a bigger Solo engine, which would
make sense since the wankel has always been marginal for the larger
ships, particularly at higher altitude airports. Anyway you cut it, a
lot of engines for one ship.

The Solo engined version is the AS25/EB28 which is really a Binder EB model leading on to their EB28 then EB28 Edition models.
