Default New Ford "SHOW"

correct me if I'm wrong. I don't like the way they changed the S-H-O to "show". Sounds stupid. Is Yamaha still under the hood?

Didn't the original SHO cost a significant amount more than a mustang...and it wasn't AWD....nor did it have turbos......?

Just more evidence of escalating car prices.

I think its supposed to be one of the new Twin Force engines. They were originally touted as a twin turbo v6 making 415hp. Like always they have back peddled from that number.

The 3.5L EcoBoost™ is the first North American production twin-turbocharged direct-injection V6 engine. And Taurus SHO is the first and only vehicle in its class* to feature the EcoBoost engine. This engine provides better fuel economy** and fewer emissions than a V8. EcoBoost combines two different technologies – turbocharging and direct injection – to deliver the performance of a much larger engine with the fuel economy of a smaller engine.** It churns out 365 horsepower and 350 lb.-ft. of torque across a wide 1,500 – 5,000 rpm range. And it does all that with an estimated 17 city/25 highway fuel economy.** Compared to a naturally aspirated engine, the 3.5L EcoBoost twin turbocharged direct injection V6 engine provides higher performance, better fuel economy** and fewer CO2 emissions: • Improved transient response enabled by the direct injector reduces “turbo lag,” overcoming the traditional disadvantage of downsizing and boosting • More efficient fuel consumption is the result of a high compression ratio enabled by direct injection, which provides air charged cooling *Class is five-passenger Large Car. **EPA-estimated 17 city/25 hwy (AWD).

FWIW If you look on the Ford Vehicles website it is still listed as a Taurus SHO.
