Gazoo is just what Toyota Motorsport is called now... Confusingly, Gazoo Racing the rally team is not related to Gazoo Racing the GT racing team...

The Yaris test car, which features a Global Race Engine developed at Toyota's motorsport facility in Cologne, has been driven by Stephane Sarrazin and Sebastian Lindholm.

So initial prototype built in Cologne, as well as complete engine and aero. Chassis done in Finland.
Makes sense for a facility that has all that experience with F1 & GT racing, plus a wind tunnel to do all that work.
But it seems their rally car was built to incomplete regulations and didn't cut the mustard.
