No you're totally wrong... its going to be officially produced photochops of the R56 by AutoExpress to resemble something that looks like a MINI Speedster that will be splashed on their front page in an effort to sell some magazines.

Now I'm really worried

I don't know what Paul's reaction is going to be to me breaking the news 2 hours early
