With its unique blend of the award-winning, fuel-efficient EcoBoost\u2122 engine, enhanced driving dynamics and performance-inspired design, the new Taurus SHO shows it means business. An unprecedented combination of horsepower, technology and fuel economy takes this acclaimed sporting sedan to a whole new level.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Taurus SHO has always followed the original formula of stealthy sleeper, and the new model is no exception,\u201d said Gordon Platto, chief designer. \u201cWe wanted to keep the subtle, understated, yet sporty elegance, but at the same time we knew it was time to even more fully differentiate the Super High Output model from other Taurus series models.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Inspired by SHO buyers and club enthusiasts, the design team knew just what to do.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_218267\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-218267\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/2013-ford-taurus-sho\/2013-ford-taurus-sho-3\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-218267\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-218267\" src=\"http:\/\/supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/2013_Ford_TaurusSHO2.jpg\" alt=\"2013 Ford Taurus SHO\" width=\"\" height=\"\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-218267\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">2013 Ford Taurus SHO: The sportiest Taurus yet to wear the acclaimed Super High Output badge, the SHO offers 365 hp, a broad torque band, all-wheel drive, while delivering 25 EPA-rated highway mpg.

Behind the front wheel openings, a fender-mounted scallop contains a subtle SHO badge.<\/p>\n<p>Unique 19-inch premium painted wheels wearing standard P255\/45VR-19 all-season tires fill out the openings, giving SHO a muscular, athletic look. Buyers can choose 20-inch machined and painted wheels.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_218268\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-218268\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/2013-ford-taurus-sho\/2013-ford-taurus-sho-4\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-218268\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-218268\" src=\"http:\/\/supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/2013_Ford_TaurusSHO3.jpg\" alt=\"2013 Ford Taurus SHO\" width=\"\" height=\"\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-218268\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">2013 Ford Taurus SHO: The sportiest Taurus yet to wear the acclaimed Super High Output badge, the SHO offers 365 hp, a broad torque band, all-wheel drive, while delivering 25 EPA-rated highway mpg.

These screens can be personalized to display information relevant to each individual driver using voice command, a simple button click or touch-screen tap.<\/p>\n<p>MyFord Touch is powered by the latest generation of Ford\u2019s award-winning SYNC, including sophisticated voice control for vehicle functions, connected Bluetooth\u00ae devices, MP3 players and a wide variety of external media.<\/p>\n<h4>Enhanced powertrain, refined dynamics<\/h4>\n<p>The new Taurus SHO drivetrain continues to use the award-winning and fuel-efficient 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6, delivering 365 horsepower and 350 lb.-ft. of torque, mated to a six-speed high-capacity 6F55 SelectShift Automatic\u2122 transmission.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_218269\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-218269\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/2013-ford-taurus-sho\/2013-ford-taurus-sho-5\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-218269\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-218269\" src=\"http:\/\/supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/2013_Ford_TaurusSHO4.jpg\" alt=\"2013 Ford Taurus SHO\" width=\"\" height=\"\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-218269\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">2013 Ford Taurus SHO: The sportiest Taurus yet to wear the acclaimed Super High Output badge, the SHO offers 365 hp, a broad torque band, all-wheel drive, while delivering 25 EPA-rated highway mpg.

For the new model, these have been reconfigured for more intuitive operation, with one paddle for upshifts and the other for making smooth, matched-rev downshifts.<\/p>\n<p>SHO dynamics have been enhanced with larger brakes, torque vectoring control \u2013 using slight braking to provide the effect of a limited-slip differential \u2013 and unique sport-tuned suspension.<\/p>\n<p>Specially calibrated electric power-assisted steering (EPAS) has been further optimized for enthusiast-pleasing road feel and direct, communicative response. In addition to helping Taurus SHO deliver up to 25 mpg highway, EPAS enables the car to park itself with active park assist.<\/p>\n<p>Taurus SHO brake system upgrades include a larger master cylinder, revised booster tuning for improved pedal feel, larger front rotors with 19 percent more thermal mass and 67 percent more swept area to help brakes run cooler. Now vented, the rear disc brakes offer 53 percent more thermal mass.<\/p>\n<p>As with the previous edition, all Taurus SHO models come standard with an advanced torque-sensing all-wheel-drive system to help deliver optimum traction in all weather conditions and to enable the vehicle to efficiently deliver ample torque through all four driven wheels when driving in a sporty, enthusiastic manner.<\/p>\n<figure class='gallery-item'>\r\n            <div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\r\n                <a
