Mystery Car: Mini Clubman S mule





Our team of spy photographers captured this unusual Mini Clubman S mule in Germany.

Before the 2007 Mini came out, there was a similar Mini Cooper S hatchback test mule wearing the exact same wheels which was sighted in England back in 2000.

We heard rumors that Mini could be testing a supercharged version of the "S" because the front lower air intake is longer and taller compared to the regular Clubman S .There are pieces black tape around the corners of the front bumper and wheel arches. Also there is a little apron located on the bottom of the front bumper.

So could Mini be testing a Cooper/Clubman S supercharged? Its possible and if it is, expect to see it on sale in late 2008/early 2009.
