I wasn't aware that there was any such thing as a pressurized Bonanza.

Beechcraft did build two prototype turbine powered pressurized single engine
airplanes. They called it the "Lightning 38P" and one of the prototypes did
go into flight testing on June 14, 1982. The project was scrapped because
it was deemed economically unfeasible. I think if they had developed it
years later it would have had a market. The prototype was being advertised
for sale last year for $300,000, no engine or instrumentation.
