Ford Taurus SHO Hennessey

There's plenty to love about the madness that goes on at Hennessey Performance, but for us, it's the fact that the company has no loyalty to any brand or nameplate. If it's quick, it flies at Hennessey. The team recently turned their attention toward squeezing a bit more thrust from the latest-generation Ford Taurus SHO, and the result is the MaxBoost 445. Thanks to a cold-air induction system, new hard piping for the turbo, engine management calibration and a Corsa stainless steel cat-back exhaust, the car dumps 445 horsepower to all four wheels – a bunch more ponies than the standard car's already plentiful 365 hp. It even comes with a 1 year, 12,000 mile warranty.

Where did you see the price? I must've missed it.

I like but I don't like the rims.

But think of all the stuff you get! A cold air intake, exhaust and a tune....oh and that little metal sticker.... So only $1125 per item! bargain.

Hennessey has a horrible reputation on the Dodge forums, I wouldn't send a dollar his way !

If I owned an SHO, Livernois would be my place of choice to get it modded.

Not a bad effort--However, my favorite tuner SHO was the Mobsteel Taurus that debuted in 2010. It looked slick and the torque was outrageous. http://jalopnik.com/5488327/2010-mobsteel-ford-taurus-sho-first-drive
