I'm ABSOLUTELY Confident there is a test car as a one off!

They made an E30 M3 pickup for fun once too.

What's the best reason for putting an S55 in a mule?

To test for robustness. Drop an S55 in a 235 racing chassis and test your transmission and chassis to make sure it can handle the extra power and make sure the chassis and setup can handle 425 hp etc.

It's also a great way to test your aero as well

But I sure wouldn't take it that this means a production version will have an S55.
That's just going too far off the reservation, and if that's ones * expectation* i think it's off base
