The Ford Taurus SHO
is back baby with a whole new look and Ford's new twin-turbocharged
V-6 EcoBoost engine. The new EcoBoost Taurus Sho will be a sporty
version of their tried and true Ford Taurus which has dazzled fans
for decades. The 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6 delivers 365 horsepower
with fuel economy that will blow your mind.
The 2010 Taurus SHO features an enhanced
SelectShift six-speed automatic transmission with control paddles
mounted on the steering wheel, in combination with a sophisticated
torque sensing all-wheel drive system, a sportier SHO interior,
subtle exterior design cues and myriad technologies and features
offered on Taurus.
The 2010 Ford Taurus SHO will be available
this summer with a base MSRP of $37,995, including destination and
delivery fees.
The Taurus Sho is one of America's
favorite "sleeper" performance cars powered by a Super
High Output (SHO) EcoBoost twin turbocharged engine.
The Taurus SHO joins Ford's growing
lineup of performance vehicles for the 2010 model year, building
on the legacy of the original, which earned a spot on the Car and
Driver 10Best list four years running.
"The new Taurus SHO delivers on
the authentic sleeper sedan formula but adds all-new luxury-appointments,
convenience features and technologies to an unsurpassed balance
of power and fuel economy," said Mark Fields, Ford's president
of The Americas. "This new sport derivative answers enthusiasts'
calls for a premium Ford flagship sedan with even more attitude."
Introduced in 1989, Taurus SHO was
conceived as a discreet performance-oriented sports sedan, ideally
suited to the automotive enthusiast needing the room and capability
of a four-door full-size car. Produced through 1999, more than 100,000
were sold.
The original Taurus SHO generated a
loyal following of owners and enthusiasts, with an active club more
than 1,000 members strong, an online forum with more than 10,000
registered users and a Web site (bringbackthesho.com) specifically
devoted to convincing Ford to resurrect the SHO. The 2010 Taurus
product development team spent significant time listening to SHO
enthusiasts.
