After building a strong presence in the international Rally Raid scene over recent years, Taurus officially begins its expansion into Brazil with a clear objective: to introduce its platform to a new generation of drivers and customers in one of the fastest-growing off-road markets in the world.
With strong performances in international events such as Dakar, Rallye du Maroc, Saudi Championship, Portugal, Spain, Greece, Poland, South Africa and Argentina, Taurus has established itself as a competitive and reliable UTV platform within modern Rally Raid competition.
Since its debut, the project has achieved victories and top podium results in W2RC and international Baja events alongside multiple drivers, demonstrating the versatility, performance and adaptability of the Taurus platform across some of the most demanding terrains on the planet. At the same time, Taurus understands that reaching the podium depends on the combination of driver talent, team performance and machine reliability. For this reason, one of the project’s greatest achievements has been generating winning results and top-level performances without relying on an official factory team, proving that the true potential lies in providing drivers with a platform capable of turning sporting ambitions into reality.
Drivers who have achieved podiums and victories with Taurus include:
Mitch Guthier, Cristina Gutierrez, Nicolas Cavigliasso, Dania Akeel, Yazeed Al-Rajhi, Pau Navarro, Gonçalo Guerreiro, Oscar Ral, Erik Goczal, David Zille, Kevin Benavides, Lucas Del Rio, Ignacio Casale, Eduardo Pons, Paul Spierings, Alexandre Pinto and Martin Gastaldi.
Now, together with SIZMIC Racing (one of the most recognized and established Rally Raid structures in Brazil, with a trajectory built on results and a strong commitment to excellence) Taurus begins a new phase focused on developing its presence in South America, with Brazil becoming the main focus of this cooperation.
As part of this initiative, Taurus and SIZMIC Racing are planning an exclusive test program in Europe for a selected group of Brazilian drivers and potential customers. The objective is to provide firsthand experience with the vehicle’s performance, technology and operational philosophy.
Beyond the test activities, both companies intend to work together on technical cooperation, spare parts support and the development of a local operational structure capable of supporting Rally Raid customers across South America.
The project also aims to support future participation in competitions such as Sertões and other major Rally Raid events throughout the region.
