The new SHO is built off the redesigned 2010 Taurus, and like most comebacks, it's quite a bit bigger and heavier than the original. Like the SHO's of the past, the new car has a few external changes that add some character without doing away with the car's grown-up exterior. 19" alloy wheels are standard, with optional 20's.
Interior
I have to say that the SHO's interior looks fantastic with its suede leather seats and piano black trim. A number of high tech features like an MP3 hard drive, Sony audio system, and navi will be available, just as you'd expect from a modern sport sedan. The transmission is a specially-tuned six-speed automatic. Unfortunate, but not surprising is the lack of a real manual tranny.
While the original SHO was front-drive with a high revving NA V6 (with one the coolest looking intake designs ever), the new car is a bit different. The 2010 SHO is powered a by a t
win- turbocharged 3.5L Eco-Boost V6 that will make
365 horsepower and comes standard with
AWD. Ford claims that the turbo V6 will deliver V8 performance without sacrificing V6 fuel economy. I'll be interested to see what the EPA numbers will be on this thing.
