2010 Ford Taurus SHO
O ne of America’s favorite “sleeper” performance cars returns to the Ford lineup for 2010, powered by a Super High Output (SHO) twin turbocharged engine, Ford’s most powerful EcoBoost engine.
A key feature of this EcoBoost engine is gasoline direct injection. The direct injection of fuel into the cylinder during the intake stroke, as opposed to port-style injection to an externally mounted intake, produces a well-mixed air-fuel charge. Fuel vaporization during the intake stroke cools the incoming air, improving volumetric efficiency and lowers the likelihood of knock.
The 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6 also uses twin turbochargers, as opposed to a single unit. The reduced size of each turbocharger results in reduced internal inertia, allowing this advanced engine to avoid the “turbo lag” often prevalent in earlier-generation turbocharged applications. From the driver’s seat, the rewarding result is linear power delivery across a broad torque band from 1,500 through 5,250 rpm. Peak torque building quickly off idle ensures responsive acceleration from a standing start.
Additional highlights include a new six-speed SelectShift Automatic transmission with control paddles mounted on the steering wheel, a sophisticated torque sensing all-wheel drive system, a sportier SHO interior, and subtle exterior design cues.
