As for Yaris engine into GR86, it's different branch/department of Z (Toyota Sports Engineering) from 86 project. They're also testing different things... just using GR86 as a chassis. You can see from that swapped GR86 hood is cut inside to keep it fit. By safety, it won't pass. Can't see it, but tunnel had to be heavily cut and welded to fit. If you can find the inside photo, you can see it.
Right now, Toyota is developing something... which I'm interested in... very interested in. Is that involve GR86? No. Is that involve Yaris/GRC engine? Kinda, but not really.
That's all I can say atm

Toyotas always developing something. It's what companies do. I certainly won't plan my driving future based on forum rumors or tada interviews
