So Tommi Makinen built a AWD Toyabaru for Rally Finland at the request of the CEO of Toyota. It didn't actually run competitively, but ran some of the course at speed for promo purposes.

EDIT:

And it appears another one (built in Germany, where the old Toyota WRC team was based) will be car 0 at the German Rally later this month.

It looks like the German car isn't AWD.
