Is a 300HP+ R57 Mini Vert possible?

Hello Mini owners, I am scaling down in my life ( I am 51 years old) and just sold my M3 convertible not too long ago so that I can have something fun and sporty to drive around and pull behind my RV Motorhome when we travel. And I have always like the look and feel of the mini's.

What I am thinking about doing is getting an R57 and putting a widebody kit on it, and if possible some form of a stage 1-2 upgrade to get the power to ~300+ HP levels like the 2020 JCW's have. I would buy new but JCW doesn't offer the 300+ HP motor on the convertible chassis yet, even for the 2020 models. Is there a reputable performance company that can take an R57 or newer Mini to 300+ in a convertible?

So far this is what I have found:


Constructive thoughts, ideas, or suggestions welcome!
Kind Regards,
Koinonos
