Now for this year's SEMA show in Las Vegas, Toyota has taken one of its more modern, current products, the GR86 sports car co-developed with Subaru, and dressed it up in rally livery that almost anyone who grew up watching WRC in the 1990s will recognize.

Take one 300 hp Toyota GR Corolla. Transplant its drivetrain into a GR86. Add some wings, lights and cool exhausts. Future motoring icon born.

The opening day of the 2024 SEMA Show in Las Vegas was a hotbed of automotive excitement, and Toyota certainly did not disappoint with its GR86 Rally Legacy Concept. This isn’t just some shiny new paint job.

Inspired by the Celica GT-Four and with GR Corolla underpinnings, Toyota has created the ultimate GR86 – but you can’t buy one

Evasive Motorsports stuffed the Toyota GR Corolla's 300-hp three-cylinder and all-wheel-drive system into this nostalgic GR86 build for SEMA.

What is perhaps more interesting is the mechanical package of the concept. Instead of the 2.0-liter flat-4 and rear-wheel drive of the stock GR86, Toyota has dropped in the turbocharged 1.5-liter inline-3 and all-wheel-drive system from the current GR Corolla hot hatch.

Three-cylinder, drivetrain-swapped GR86 is a homage to Toyota’s Celica GT-Four rally winners from the 1980s and ’90s

Toyotas GR86 Rally Legacy Concept is a revival of the Celica GT-Four, with all the contemporary upgrades you might want to see on a rally legend.

Toyota has fitted the GR Corolla's AWD turbo-three into a GR86. Too bad the Rally Legacy car is just a SEMA concept.

The GR86 Rally Legacy concept will debut at SEMA with a retro livery, all-wheel drive, and the GR Corolla's engine.
