Tauro Sport Auto was 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 was 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.[7] The Tauro's core markets include the European Union, Russia, United Arab Emirates, China, and America.[8]
