find it hard to top the SHO. Automoblog website A little Taurus SHO
history: The SHO nameplate remained dormant for a decade before
resurrection on the sixth-generation Taurus.... The new Taurus was
a size larger than the mid-size sedan it began life as in the late
1990s, now occupying the full-size segment. It was... more
technologically complex than ever before, so the new SHO needed to
reflect that. ...Ford's 3.5-liter EcoBoost twin-turbo V-6 provided
a strong 365 hp and 350 lb-ft of torque through a six-speed
automatic, an all-wheel drive was standard equipment. For a two-ton
behemoth, the...SHO can hustle, with zero-to-60 taking a relatively
scant 5.2 seconds onto a... top speed of 133 mph. Each
sixth-generation Taurus SHO packed SHO-specific shock absorbers,
springs, stabilizer bars, and strut-mount bushings....
�€"Automobile magazine, Ford Taurus SHO: Sixth-Generation
Resurrection, May 2020 Offered here is a sixth (and final)
generation 2016 Taurus SHO in sinister-looking black-over-black...
over black (with its black KMC sport wheels). At under 24,000
miles, it is a certifiable low-mileage example, and the condition
of the car in virtually every respect, reflects not only its
nearly-new status, but as importantly, its adult ownership over its
short life. The exterior of the car shows no obvious flaws. (There
is literally no evidence whatsoever of the light damage reported to
Carfax very early in the car's life.) From its bespoke
cross-hatched upper and lower front air-intakes, to its front chin
spoiler, to its rear-deck spoiler, to its discreet Eco-Boost/SHO
emblems, the finish is unblemished. The triple-black menacing look
is broken only by the oversized SHO-branded red brake calipers
front and rear. The twin chromed exhaust outlets from the MRT
axle-back system deliver throaty, but subdued, engine-exhaust
musical accompaniment. (Be sure to hear it on the short
startup-and-engine-running video available at the GarageKeptMotors
site.) Notably absent overall are any dings, dents, or road damage.
Inside, the SHO-embroidered logos on the front bucket seatbacks cue
occupants that this stealthy Taurus is indeed special. Black
leather upholstery and trim is present across-the-board with
complementing textured-aluminum trim on the dual-cowl dash. The
full complement of Ford's state-of-the-art user-interface
technology is evident in the driver-focused, touch-sensitive
information display and steering wheel-mounted controls. In the
same way, the factory-installed Sony audio system with video
interface and aftermarket quality has received rave online reviews.
The condition of all the control surfaces in the cabin-from dash
controls, to console-mounted automatic shifter, to power-seat
controls, to door-mounted controls-is virtually flawless. The same
is true for all soft surfaces including the upholstery, carpeting,
and headliner. The cavernous trunk interior appears virtually new.
Under the hood, the twin-turbocharger 3.5-liter, 350-horsepower
Eco-Boost V6 engine is prominently branded SHO hinting at the
just-over-5-second 0-60 capability. Underneath, the condition of
the surfaces mirrors that of the rest of the car. Only expected
light surface rust is present on uncoated components. The twin
front-to-back exhaust pipes and all other suspension and chassis
components show no signs to abuse or track use. This is an
adult-owned car. The lit
