A Pontiac Solstice, a Jaguar F-Type, an Alfa 8C, and a Corvette walk into a Spanish bar, get hella drunk, and later have a massive orgy. From the aftermath emerges the Tauro Sport V8 Spider: a thoroughly redesigned GM Kappa car with an LS3. The want is so very real. Tremec 6-speed, six-piston front brakes, four-piston rears, optional adjustable dampers, and up to 530 hp/489 lb/ft pulling only 2900 lbs. Now just tell me how to get one in the States.

It looks glorious from the back, but I’m not too sure about the front:

Waiting for the front pictures in Google....

Annnnnddd...

Sold !

Black on red. Base power is fine. If I change my mind I'll find some way to get more power out of the LS.

Oh, I couldn't afford the import alone. At least maintenance should be cheap with a LS.

Honestly probably too much

The grill is a bit awkward but if you take out that vertical bar all is well really.

Probably, yeah. Then again here in Europe you’de have to put a number plate somewhere there, so it would mask it a bit. But honestly great find!

Thanks! Stumbled upon it while researching a paper about Spain awhile ago.
