Really?

My guess is:

Chassis = Subaru
Engine = Subaru
Drivetrain = Outsourced
Suspension = Subaru
Braking system = Subaru

Funding = Toyota
Marketing = Toyota
Final aero tweaks = Toyota

The companies likely cooperated heavily at the beginning stages, to decide on overall project goals, target size/weight/power, etc, and they're likely cooperating heavily for the final polish now that the project is nearly completed.

That said, I suspect that the heavy lifting, i.e. development of all the base parts, was done by Subaru.
