and a separate indicator light/shape signature on the front wing before the wheel but behind the headlamp.
I thought that could be the body crease behind the headlight (that the Trueno doesn't have), but now I think it's the side marker light at the rear of the headlight after it wraps around the front wing:

I still can't explain what's happening with the headlight though
 
Back in GT5 prologue and GT5/6 this was one of my favourite cars, I like it more than a stock version. But unfortunately, the one they added in GTS is like a completely different car, not as grippy and fast in straight line as before.
They might have removed its aerodynamic features which give it race car like handlings but who knows.
 
I think I might be the only one who’s predicting this but I don’t think it’s another GC8 Impreza in the silhouettes. Instead it looks like to me like the Blitz Dunlop ER34 Skyline. Although not as powerful as Dai’s BRZ, it’ll definitely flesh out the drift car roster in GTS.

You're not, and no, it's not because the details don't match that of any R34.

I too initially thought it was a skyline, until I saw the hood scoop... It's an Impreza...

For the mystery Car
One of the Lancias I was thinking of:

Edit:Cant be either, the roof on both Lancia are NOT flat and straight enough... Which it is on the middle mystery car... Back to the drawing board...

Wheelbase is too short. A lot of people failing to see that.

Your Lancia suggestion has now been shot down 3 times, stop suggesting it.
We already know because we have eyes and comparisons already that whatever it is has similar height, length and overall proportions to the AE86 & Piazza, but doesn't fully match either.
It's only a few days to wait at this point anyway, I think if we haven't guessed it by now we won't. We've already pretty solidly guessed the other 4.

As for the Talbot/Simca suggestion (which I can't seem to quote...) it's too long, the angles of the surfaces are a little off, and the overall proportions don't fit. It'd be a mega leftfield choice for a racing game though!

I agree about the wheelbase of the Impreza. I'm guessing it's a late-90s Type R since it has to be the 2-door body. If it were longer I'd have gone outside the box and suggested the S201 haha.
 
Alright, I'm going to talk more about the silhouettes.

This edited image actually convinces me more than ever that it's a GC8 Impreza WRX STI, most likely the sedan version. I can not only see the hood scoop, but the grill and headlight shape resemble the 1st Gen STI respectively.

Not only that, but I can make out the front bumper looking very similar to the 1998 & 99 STI's front bumper.

Now this one, a lot of arguments including the gif do indeed point it to being an AE86 Levin. However, there's one small thing that gives me doubt of that being the case. The headlights and grill. The light reflections off of the headlights reveal a curve on the bottom.

A real AE86 Levin doesn't have that as shown here. It's blocky! Another problem with that front end is the light reflecting showing the front having a sharper angle than the Levin's. The front end of the Levin has a slope in its shape while the silhouette doesn't have that. The front end on the silhouette is flat. I know the rest of the shape matches, but a lot of 1980s cars have a similar shape, so that's not saying much.

One more thing I noticed is when comparing the grills. The light reflections on the silhouette reveal a gap near the top of that car's front end, something that the AE86 Levin doesn't have. Yes, I know that this car has more than one grill type, but each grill I've seen doesn't match the silhouette car's grill.
 
Someone tag me when the cars are revealed. My notifications are always off, but do it anyway.

The early Levins had a weird grille with a flip up portion and a hard edge in the middle.

Which is actually the grille the Levin in the past few GT titles had, but it was always in the closed position.

"...what it did was having a closed grille when the engine is under normal operation to improve the drag coefficient and when the engine is under stress it would open up to give it more cooling. It had a thermostat which opened the grille when the water temperature was hot enough. Then the grille would open up and show the twincam 16 logo instead of the Levin logo when closed."
