R57 spotted on M40 nr oxford

Spotted a bit late - I was heading to the Cheshire Oaks Motorshow last Friday and saw the new R57. if you look at the full size view you can see some minor differences - the back bumper was obviously not finished off. Car came off at Oxford and I didn't have the time to follow it for some more shots

Shot with an N95 on high res but still not that good.

If the hips aren't there, could the back be that much wider? Considering that the car was not made more narrow, that could be a posibility. Perhaps to let the soft top sit more tucked into the car when stowed... time will tell.
