THE TAURUS SHO PAGE
Updates: Last updated January 4, 2008
The Ford Taurus SHO was introduced in 1989 when the SHO engine was first made available. This was a Yamaha-built 225 HP V6, mated to a standard 5-Speed manual. This was good for a 0-60 mile (0-100 km/h)time at the mid-6 second range , and a quarter mile in the high 14 second range. At the time, its only real competition was the BMW M5, but at more than twice the price the same buyer rarely considered both cars.
The car also got 4 wheel discs, stiffer springs, special body cladding, and most of the Taurus options as standard items.The car was restyled along with the rest of the line in 1992, and an automatic became available in 1993. When restyled again in 1996, the car got a 235 HP V8 in place of the V6. It also got high precision ZF steering but lost the manual trans option.
This is my 1989 SHO.
