2010 SHO on CarandDriver.com

From CarandDriver.com, Nothing we haven't seen but it's getting noticed.



2010 Ford Taurus SHO - Spied

Looks like it’s SHO-time again at Ford.
BY STEVE SILER, PHOTOGRAPHY BY BRIAN WILLIAMS/BRENDA PRIDDY & CO.
January 2009


Ford’s big Taurus sedan has been in a sales ditch in comparison to the huge numbers it used to pull, but a major refresh is expected to bring some much-needed polish to the tarnished nameplate. Nothing adds polish, though, like a hopped-up performance variant, and Taurus history includes three storied letters that could start buffing the car’s rep later this year: SHO, for Super High Output.
Big dual exhausts, huge wheels, and fat, low-profile tires are the tip-off that the car in these pictures ain’t no ordinary Taurus, even though Ford hasn’t yet revealed what the ordinary Taurus will look like. Expect sporty accents to add flavor to the SHO’s interior and exterior. We anticipate that the SHO will use the same 340–350-hp, twin-turbocharged EcoBoost V-6 that will power the Lincoln MKS, likely paired with all-wheel drive.
Stay tuned for more details.

This car is HOT! I love it. The exterior is classy and the interior looks great!

Although, someone needs to contact Ford and tell them their tire choice is poor. A performance sedan should be equipped with proper tires and Goodyear RS-A's don't seem right.

Yeah, this is one HOT car! Imagine a Ford sedan with 340+ hp / 340+ lb ft torque and AWD wrapped in chiseled sheetmetal, and a classy interior to boot! I think the new Taurus will sell well for Ford.
