2010 Ford SHO – The Sleeper Has Awakened

2010 Ford SHO – The Sleeper Has Awakened

In 1989, Ford introduced their Taurus SHO sedan – a 3.0 liter V6 injected sleeper car, which could hit 8000 RPM’s and a top speed of almost 150 MPH. In 2010, Ford will bring SHO back to life. For over 10 years (1989-1999) Taurus SHO (Super High Output) attracted 100,000 car fans with its manual transmission and 0-60 time of 6.6 seconds. After a second decade of silence the sleeping dragon has been re-awakened.

Yes friends, Ford is BACK with a 3.5 liter EcoBoost V6 SHO, and the Ford Flex, Lincoln MKS and MKT are getting them too. The redesigned 2010 Taurus SHO power plant is a twin-turbo, direct-inject engine, which Ford claims can deliver “V8 power with V6 economy.” SHO’s EcoBoost produces 365 horse power and 350 lb-ft. of torque. This bad boy is already available for pre-order at some Ford dealers.

Inside and out, the 2010 Taurus SHO is a classic sleeper. The vehicles design is as basic as a rebranded Ford 500 series can be – with the added ‘SHO’ badge and a slightly up-angled rear spoiler. Leather interior and a flashy dash, including on board nav-screen and slap-stick shifter, compliment this high performance 4-door. We’re excited to see just how well SHO does in the coming years.
