The Ford Taurus was created by the Ford Motor Company in 1985 as a 1986 model. The Taurus SHO is a high performance variant of the Ford Taurus. Compared to The Taurus Sedan the Taurus SHO has some better handling, is quicker and is more technology-packed. The SHO has a twin-turbocharged EcoBoost V6 engine that produces a massive 365 horse power making it a speed monster. The car is loaded with luxury features which will not stop to amaze you.

Engine and Specs

The new Ford Taurus SHO will be one of a kind vehicle in the car market since its interior and exterior components are refined to the highest degree. Its predecessor was designed from a Volvo platform and this brought about the car being a little over weight making its competitive nature reduce although it has a high performance engine. These are some of the details that have been countered in the new 2016 Ford Taurus SHO. The car will have an equal powerful 60-degree V6, aluminum block and head engine.

The engine will be 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged EcoBoost V6, power plant will manage 350 lb.-ft of torque and produce mind blowing 365 horse power @ 5,500 rpm . Its power is slightly less compared to the original but due to its new Six-speed automatic or maybe 8-speed automatic gearbox which is in developing, the 2016 Ford Taurus SHO is much faster.

In terms of speed, the car is expected to get to accelerate 0- 60 mph in just 5.2 seconds and reach maximum speed of 160 mph and will have permanent all-wheel drive.
