In a world with Lamborghini Huracán Sterratos and Porsche 911 Dakars, why not a Toyota GR86 with serious off-road chops? That’s probably the question the Japanese automaker was asking, although the answer it has come up with will not go beyond this week’s SEMA Show in Las Vegas.

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.

What could be better than a turbocharged version of Toyota’s beloved modern sports coupe, the GR86? One with the turbo three-cylinder engine from the GR Corolla, of course. The powerplant is essentially pulled from the homologation version of Toyota’s smaller hatchback,

Four's rally car look but cloaks the all-wheel-drive, turbo three-cylinder powertrain from the GR Corolla under the GR86's body.

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