I'm surprised the fanbois aren't wetting themselves all over this.
A turbo AWD rally spec GT86 built by Tommy Makinen's shop for Mr Toyota himself Akio Toyoda. Tommy built it and drove it with Akio Toyoda as a silent co-driver.

I prefer the R3 class RWD variant now competing in WRC. Converting that car to AWD really just ruins what it's all about. I'd honestly get more excited about an FA20 based turbo motor and AWD system being dropped into a 3 door Yaris for open class.
To answer the question in everyone's heads: It's a Toyobaru-lookalike shell dropped over a WRX.
