Tauro Sport Auto is a Spanish manufacturer of luxury sports cars based in Valladolid, [1] [2] founded in 2010, [3] when a group of Spanish businessmen joined with a British manufacturer of racing cars to create the company. [4]
Their most popular model is the Tauro V8. [5] It is based on the mechanical underpinnings i.e. chassis of the Pontiac Solstice [6] and is powered by a Chevrolet-sourced powertrain as its base engine and is offered in four variants: Spider, [7] Coupe, Saeta and Portago. The Spider is based on the Kappa platform, purchased from GM. New body styling and a range of big V-8 has replaced the turbocharged four cylinder, the interior design has now some modifications, upgraded in materials and given a variety of colors.

They are produced in small series and made to order, with much of the manufacturing process done by hand. [5]
All models are called the Tauro V8. [9] They were all powered by a Chevrolet LS3 engine.
