1) What kit is on the red celica?

2) Is that just some random Toyota F1 car or was it powered by the Celica engine or something?

I can only answer question 1. It is a full Kaminari kitted celica.

is it logical to think that an f1 car could be power by the same engine in a celica?

probably sponsored by toyota

Not really, but I'm just wondering why the picture of the F1 looking car if the only relationship it shares with the Celica is the fact that they're made by Toyota. I'm not really into automotive sports so maybe there exists another tier under F1 with F1 looking cars where a Celica engine might be appropriate. Just thought I'd ask.

There was a open wheel racing series in Australia if I recall correctly that used 2ZZ engines with full TRD support.

The F1 car though is directly from Toyota's F1 team. Here's a pic of one I took in Tokyo.

I have another question:

What side skirts and lip are those?

I tried googling TRD celica side skirts but the hits keep showing the action package sides.
