Last week, the folks at Autoweek.nl reported the release of the new JCW Mini Clubman. According to the Mini-gasmic folks at Motoring File, they were totally wrong. According to them, the pictures were actually some BMW press shots showing off how you could kit up the Mini Clubman with the current portfolio of available toys from JCW — in fact, they're the exact same ones you can buy for the current R56. So we got it wrong too — and you know, it serves us right. What should we expect — listening to a bunch of Dutch-bags. And with that, we have now effectively shifted the blame.

Autoweek.nl is following in the embargo-breaking footsteps of its 'merican magazine cousins (not related). Whereas AutoWeek leaked the early deets on the Clubman, Autoweek.nl's releasing details on the new John Cooper Works edition of the slightly-bigger-than-mini Mini. Our Dutch isn't great, but it looks like it will follow in its little brother's footsteps, sporting 18-inch wheels, the same 1.6-liter turbo producing approximately the same 192hp and a similar front fascia. The biggest difference, other than the extra set of doors, comes in the rear with a reworked bumper and taillights more reflective of the base Clubman.
