Ford Taurus SHO (Mk VI) specs

Nicknamed Casket on wheels for an average non race car driver.

These came heavily detuned from the factory. With a good tune only, and no bolt ons, these run mid 12’s all day

The Ford Taurus SHO was underrated at 365 horsepower for insurance reasons, but in reality it was making around 400 horsepower. Some SHOs even left the factory with 450 horsepower! This is a faster car on the track than both the Pontiac G8 GXP and the Cadillac CTS-V2!

I know this has nothing to do with the car, but everyone if you're a car enthusiast and use Wikipedia, give Sable232 a bad day (he is a huge Ford Taurus fanboy and troll), he acts like he knows shit about cars and reverts any edits he doesn't agree with. For example, when I called the Freestyle a wagon instead of a crossover.

Why wasn't my edit about the Honda Crosstour reverted? I called it a wagon too instead of an SUV. I don't consider either to even be crossovers.

Ford Taurus SHO is like Audi S6/BMW 550i/M-B E550 and even Dodge Charger SRT. The Crown Vic was slower than an A6 3.2/528i at the time.

Ford is basing their new Police Interceptor on the Taurus SHO and phasing out the Crown Victoria.

25mpg highway is pretty impressive.

This engine is now Fords premium engine in the F150 pickups. I drove one with this engine and was very, very impressed with the power/torque.

I think what nissan got from their v6 is slightly more impressiveNissan this, Nissan that.http://www.thomassabocharmemarkt.com/ Besides, cars with that V6 aren\'t even competing with the Taurus.

365HP is not bad for these type of cars, ya know.

Twin-turbocharged v6, tiny turbos though.

SuperHighOutput?? Really?

SHO = Super High Output. (IIRC)

anybody know what Sho stands for?

thats because Nissan, or who evr designed the car wanted it to be (UnTunable). i believe he said, why mess with perfection, or some shit like that.

The Noble is powered by a similar engine tuned for 450hp by a company in the US, so the potential for this sleeper is awesome. Much easier to tune than the GT-R has been.

yes but the original first and 2nd gen have a 3.2L V6 that was actually quicker. thank god the sho is back. i have one of every gen to trade for this baby

did the last SHO model have a V8??

It's not naturally aspirated. It's turbocharged.

Yes, I think it is naturally aspirated.

i cant believe how good this looks!!

Is this car naturally aspirated????

I think what nissan got from their v6 is slightly more impressive and I bet audis 3.0l v6 with 328hp s4 will perform a hell of a lot better than this

DAMN this look good!! 365bhp from a v6..whooo, thats what the world need, more high powered low cylinder cars. any word on price??

Im going to guess. Mike Maurer who designed the Porsche Panamera?

Wow does this car ever look like a SAAB???? I wonder why????
