Vehicle Description
Gateway Classic Cars of San Antonio/Austin is happy to present this
1993 Ford Taurus SHO. The Ford Taurus SHO (Super High Output) was a
radically awesome vehicle for its time period, and it was a slap
back at all of the Japanese and European sport sedans that were
making way into the U.S. marketplace at 2 or 3 times the cost. This
was an American sedan (with a Yamaha-engineered engine) that could
hang with them! The DOHC 24 valve 3.2L version of the Ford SHO V6
engine was introduced specifically for the automatic-equipped SHO,
which still had 220 hp, but now boasted 215 lbft of torque, a 15
lbft increase over the 3.0 L version. It was later discovered by
enthusiasts that Ford had put less aggressive intake camshafts in
the 3.2L motor to maintain the same horsepower rating as the 3.0L,
while still having more torque. The 1993 SHO automatics use the
AX4S (previously named AXOD-E) 4-speed automatic transmissions.
This example is finished in the Deep Emerald Green metallic over
light beige leather. The 1993 Taurus SHO's were loaded with all the
power options, including the sunroof, right from the factory and
this example is actually a nicely preserved, 3-owner, 113k mile
CarFax documented vehicle.
