Models

All models are called the Tauro V8

The Tauro V8 Spider takes us back to the traditional formula of front engine and rear wheel drive that defines the pure roadster.

The Tauro V8 Coupé is close to Muscle car, a hardtop versión.

The Tauro V8 Saeta takes its name from the first jet plane made in Spain in the mid-twentieth century, the Hispano Aviación HA-200 Saeta and incorporates elements from the competition.

Tauro V8 Spider - Coupé - Saeta y Super Saeta were designed by the famous designer Christopher Reitz, Ferdinand Porsche great grandson.

The Tauro V8 Portago goes back to the Barchettas models of the 1940s and 50s. Its name is in honor of Marquis of Portago, Spanish F1 gentleman driver, dead in the 1957 Mille Miglia edition while piloting a Ferrari official.
