2010 Taurus SHO

This car looks like a tough competitor, Im not too keen on the styling, and it still cant touch my GXP But at least they are heading in the right direction.
Head to head against the A6:
The 3.5L EcoBoost™ V6 in the Taurus SHO uses twin-turbocharged direct-injection to deliver the thrust of a V8 with the thirst of a V6.

| Ya, I can't stand the interior but the powertrain is cool. The engine is electronically limited to advertised torque because of the strength of the transmission. The engine itself can make a lot more power. Expect some really quick SHO's on the road once the aftermarket gets to that car. |

Ford says the turbo's won't even last as long as the 100,000 mile warranty
Badass motor nonetheless. _________________ 1998 Grand Prix GT | 12.91 @ 103 - Sold/Retired
