A genuine cult classic the Ford Taurus was ahead of its time in terms of power and style all of which combined in a spacious saloon body. Ford's initial aim with the Ford Taurus SHO in the 1980s was competing with the Toyota MR2 and other two seater light weight sports cars. So Ford collaborated with Yamaha on a light powerful engine which became known as the two seater GN 34 but unfortunately the popularity of such two-seater cars was already waning by then. So the American/Japanese alliance made a sport/luxury version of the Ford Taurus instead. The Taurus became known for their power and style so much so that even in recent years the 220 bhp still packs a powerful punch. Ford had sold nearly seven million Tauruses during its 20 year production cycle but the SHO arriving in 1989 improved on the Taurus reputation.

    I have a 1995 Ford Taurus automatic 3.2 with 146,000 miles on it. I got mine beat up and beat down. But even with all the problems I had it still was faster and more potent that just about anything I've ever driven. The Yamaha 3.2 is quite possibly the best engine ever made. I've taken everything fr ...

    I'd buy another one if they got better gas milage and they still made them. Everything about my car is great, it's a 98 with 42,400 miles on it, I've had it 10 years. I live in Ohio and have never been stuck in the snow, it has a lot of get up and go.

    I have had 3 Ford Taurus SHO's so far and still own 2 of them. a 89, 93, and a 99 they are the best cars I've ever owned, the best part about them is that they are the sleepers... Take care of yours and they will last..
    I will have an SHO for as long a I can.
