SPY PHOTOS: TOP-MODEL TAURUS SHO RETURNS!

http://www.semaenews.com/eNewsSizedImages/Taurus_01_issue_74_Original.jpg

Automotive spy photographer linchpin Brenda Priddy tells us that these are the first pictures of the 2010 Ford Taurus SHO, caught just outside Ford's Detroit headquarters. Priddy says that photos of a clay model leaked months ago corroborate that this is the long-awaited high-performance Taurus.

Carrying over styling cues from Ford’s stylish European Mondeo, the all-new Taurus will likely be powered by Ford’s new EcoBoost engines, with an EcoBoost SHO to top off the line. The SHO, with its 3.5L V6 twin-turbo EcoBoost, will have 350hp and 400 lb.-ft. of torque.

[Vteckidd]

just in time for FOrds 40% decline in sales!

[BABY J]

LMFAO!!!! TROO TROO

[4DRGSR]

yay, i will buy one. I had a 93' , and a 97' not too long ago.

[BABY J]

Ih you want a SHO, get the older ones is my opinion.

[BlueHatch]

looks similar to the merc milan, which does have awd avail if im not mistaken

[Captain-Obvious™]

never haved liked the SHO's...styling wise...because they still look exactly like neons

kinda like SRT-4's, and Cobalt SS's

[Slow Motion]

Looks like another POS by Ford. I wonder what toyota vehicle are they gonna compare this too....

[OTG Signs]

Looks bloated like most cars these days.

[white_rice]

fixed or repaired daily

[Me86Rob]

fixed or repaired daily
thats just ignorant. i had an 89 mustang with well over 200k on it and the only prob that car ever had was the timing belt broke once. my mom was the orig owner and i was the second. and there are mustangs with well over 600k on them. so you sir, are wrong

[Mr. Clean]

oh god... here comes the BS argument thread.

Fords aren't as reliable as most imports. Period. I've had seven Fords, I would know.

[SouthSide Tay]

its a bout damn time

[redpanda]

manifolds were sex on the older model SHOs

[87 Turbo II]

never haved liked the SHO's...styling wise...because they still look exactly like neons

kinda like SRT-4's, and Cobalt SS's
if you can't appreciate a good sleeper, then you sir are a ricer. Some of my favorite sporty cars, are the ones that have veeeeery little differences over much slower base models.

[BABY J]

I wonder if Yamaha is playing this time.

[Echonova]

I had a '93 SHO, if I HAD to buy another I agree with Baby-J.

Older = better

[1439/2000]

YEEEEASS!!! That car will be amazing. I think US automakers need to just keeo makinng stuff like that. SHO's were fun but twin turbo factory SHO's will be extra fun.

[RUFFIAN]

Fords aren't as reliable as most imports. Period. I've had seven Fords, I would know.:rolleyes:Its funny how you guys always bag on Ford but will keep Mazda's nuts on your chin all day. the original SHO had a Yamaha engine in it. the fords that they offer stateside are sub-par but the not so emmisions friendly European offerings are world beaters.

[BABY J]

Yamaha only did the heads (i think). And that's why those cars run like raped apes w/ very little work. And Ford doesn't own Mazda OUTRIGHT, just a controlling share. When the SHO came out, Ford had to detune it when they got back from Yamaha so it didn't run away from their flagship Mustangs. Ford makes a lot of junk - they have the Stang which is a kool car... but most of what they put out is garbage. PERIOD.

[RUFFIAN]

[HeLLo iM iZzY]

if you can't appreciate a good sleeper, then you sir are a ricer. Some of my favorite sporty cars, are the ones that have veeeeery little differences over much slower base models.LOLOL.

Jesus fukin Christ. These days, everyone's a ricer! Wow......

[BABY J]

^^ STFU ricer!!!

[1439/2000]

Yamaha only did the heads (i think). .


Yes, just the heads not the whole motor.

[JITB]

I think they did the whole motor on the v6, But i know they did the whole motor on the v8 shos.
heres a video of a test mule ecoboost taurus outrunning a cts and a 5 series...lol

[BABY J]

Aaaaah - direct-injection like the original SHO. Hmmm - wonder if Yamaha is a part of this again.

[Terror]

wow... should be pretty interesting to see...

[OneSlow5pt0]

i dont like american ford.............but overseas fords are sick

[BABY J]

Damn that b*tch was moving out!

[BlueHatch]

i remember my brother had a 92 sho, that thing hauled the mail for what it was. i was young trying my damnest to figure out why the motor was in there sideways lol

[Jecht]

Lets build powerful, fuel craving cars while the economy is bad and gas is expensive! Everyone will want one!

[BABY J]

I guess you didn't look at the vid - it's actually pretty fuel efficient.
