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.[7] The Tauro's core markets include the European Union, Russia, United Arab Emirates, China, and America.[8]
In 2010, several Spanish businessmen, including Pedro J Santos,[8] and a British manufacturer of racing cars joined to create the company based in Valladolid.[1]
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.
The Tauro V8 Saeta takes its name from the first jetplane made in Spain in the mid-twentieth century, the Hispano Aviación HA-200 Saeta and incorporates some of its design elements.
