  • Ford has a big exhibit at the Houston Rodeo and i sat in the Taurus SHO there yesterday. I fell in love with it as soon as i got in!

  • Dammm that was fuckin fast ass hell for a big ass car for that weight.. those twins dont play.. lol

  • @AstonDBS18

    Oh, those twins play. They play for keeps rather than play around.

  • I timed this 30 times to the best of my ability with a stop watch lol. . . 4.95 Was my fastest and 5.08 was my slowest. . . So it's safe to say you are running 5 flat. . VERY impressive for a 4 door car.

  • I have a supercharged SRT8. This, however, is pretty fast for a big car that gets twice my gas mileage.

  • I'm blown away, that did that with virtually no drama, and that's after I watched a video of a V8 SHO and it only did 0-60 in about 8 seconds, but sounded mean when he got into it and all I could think is, 'is that it?'

  • wut

  • was that even 5 seconds?? looked like less than that... super fast. I'd be 100% happy with that kind of acceleration to be sure...

  • Sleeper.

  • torque, torque TORQUE

  • So fast for a car that big!! Damn!!

  • 10 dislikes, like bmws, mercedes and cadillacs! haterz

  • ridiculous... 5 stars :)

  • so nice but oh so darn expensive. but it is worth it if you have the money.

  • Wow. long live the SHO!

  • My dad and I drove one across country. Awesome Cars just massive.

  • wow this thing flies, it sounds awesome too!

  • utube does increase 1 second!

  • nah he starts going at :7:30 and stops at 12

  • 4,7s on my counting....

  • It's actually 5.8 seconds if it's the SHO edition

  • @Varick20919

    It is going to vary from car to car. How the engine was broken in, density altitude, weight in vehicle, quality of fuel, brake boosting... I felt this run was just a tad faster than that.

  • @AK47PERFORMANCE I'm interested in knowing what you mean by "how the engine was broken in". Does how an engine is broken in affect a car's 0-60 times? Thanks.

  • @MrSHIZZLE4u

    IT takes a good 5-10K miles before the engine reaches its peak. Also, the transmission learns how one is driving and adapts. If you try a 0-60 with grandma's car and try again after I drove it for a month, the car will be faster...

  • @Varick20919 I just stop watched the run at 5.16 seconds. which is impressive for a stock car, weighing ~4,388lbs curb with a 6cyl engine.

  • @Varick20919

    Looks like low 5's to me. Mine was doing 5 flat when stock (octane 94 and launching at 2000rpm). Very fast sleeper!

  • thats more like 7 seconds

  • Comment removed

  • nice car man. how much did you drop on this? and whats the gas gas mileage like? thanks

  • @TryingToStayLegal my dads was like 42k and he gets about 18-20 in the city, i was driving it to pick up my friend and we did a 0-60 and he was shaking =]

  • @TryingToStayLegal im my dad Taurus SEL he averages 27.5 (mostly highway driving) and i once tried to see how high i could get it, AC of, Traction Control Off, Radio off, Lights Off, ect. pulled 31mpg at 60 mph. and his zero to sixty is 5.5 seconds, so the sho should be faster then that...

  • Twin turbos baby!

  • SHO-nuff quick

  • Was this using the paddle shifters?

  • That is fast as shit. I can't see anyone needing more than this.

  • damn they have twin turbos

  • Comment removed

  • @tqdvorak

    This one has 365 horsepower. The one with the yamaha engine and a manual transmission would be the runner up in my opinion, but none of the earlier generations could keep up with this one.

  • @AK47PERFORMANCE well yeah, they actually aren't to far off. but im asking out of the old generations, are they all pretty much the same? bc they have the same engine...

  • @AK47PERFORMANCE I dunno that yami turbo or supercharged is a very mean v6. Unfortunately ford thought it would be a good idea to make this car front wheel drive versus AWD or RWD.

  • @tqdvorak I got my stock 89 up to 137 and my mod'd 93 up to 140. I always have a soft heart for the 89 though. I guess it would come down to weight.

  • Comment removed

  • that is just horrifying... very cool, but horrifying... the police in my city are starting to use SHO's for their pursuit cars.

  • i'm dying to get this car

    Ford agent in Saudi Arabia does not have Ford Taurus Sho :(

    BTW, how Taurus SHO with its twin turbo engine works in an extremely hot weather like Saudi Arabia where the temperature reaches 55 degrees Celsius??????

    is it gonna have problems in the engine going overheat?

  • @Tevez32Messi

    They have been proven to stand up to extreme cold and hot. Youtube search : ecoboost tourture test

  • @Tevez32Messi Driving mine in about 50 degree C* and it works just great! A/C is the best part and BOOST!

  • @Tevez32Messi What the fuck is celcius?

  • @sprinkler5802

    A "degree" in Celsius is 1.8 times as large an interval as a "degree" in Fahrenheit.

  • @Tevez32Messi Thank you, i know that though. I just say that cause its foreign to me and i feel threatened and get angry at things that are different.

  • @Tevez32Messi how much is gas over there right now?

  • @fabjonjon

    the gas is cheaper than bottled water.

    1 litre costs .12 Dollar.

    :)

  • @Tevez32Messi i've seen them torture testing them in dubai, they sure stand up to the conditions there. the crown victoria has already been discontinued and these will come during the 2013 model year. available for both civilians and police.

  • @Tevez32Messi dont worry I just bought a ford taurus sho a month ago in saudi arabia for only 166000 saudi riyals which is roughly 42666 dollars and it is a masterpiece .

  • @Tevez32Messi Can you get one in the Emirates and import it? I understand they had them there since 2010.

  • @LastTransAm2002 ya ford should make that an opition for the mustang, that would be realy fast mustang.

  • @benchod94 lol dip shit canada is full of fags and the us is the the country keeping you guys from being invaded. if you were any where else around the world there wouldnt be a canada, it would belong to another country united states is not a shitty country its rank number 1 as a super power, united states is not broke it makes its own money there just has to be a balance of debt so the usd doesnt loose value the reason it dropped was because goverment dipped into its own money lesson learned

  • @hotpapi17 your wrong america is not the number one super power china could easly wipe us out america has shit for economy it has the biggest debt of the superpowers owing china alone like 13 trillion dollers.. USD has been losing value since 2005 the euro is alot stronger than the usd but anyway this is a car video so why are we talking politics

  • @wowshiqptar shut da fuck up wet back bitch go back 2 mexico

  • @wowshiqptar there are many countries in debt just like us and some are way worse than ours..

  • @wowshiqptar wrong the us supplys most food products to China anyway therefore China ain't gonna fuck with us the economy does suck but if your talking about war your retarted

  • @wowshiqptar china owns 8% of the 14 trillion, the worl economy is based off the dollar, dont worry your precious euro will become less than the dollar after all the economic crisis in europe, again when everything goes to shit the country that will hold money value is the US cause we make our own money, todays world its a economic ,territory and influence war, as far as militry vs militry US will tear a new ass to any country, also the yen is 100 to 1 usd

  • @hotpapi17 i remember on top gear they had like 1,000,000 dong or 10 mil i forgot but it was only worth about 2,000 dollars LOL

  • man i just got out of ford schooling and that ecoboost is bad ass man. to bad ther ranger is no longer going to be made that engin alown will go in the f-150 as an option.

  • @benchod94 Your mommy is going to have to be brought in about this back talk you have to your superiors. Next step, up to your room without any din din, Junior. Now keep quiet while the adults talk.

  • Fords are the only domestic company that makes good cars nowadays

  • @benchod94 All domestic car companies make GREAT cars nowadays...and always have.

  • @LT1HILLINGHOE Im sure thats why theres so many chrysler shit heaps with blown up trannies.

    Ford is the only one that didn't need a bailout,I lost any respect I had for the other two after that.

    Glad I don't even live in the us.

  • @benchod94 Every manufacturer has blown up transmissions....every manufacturer. And no one in the USA cares about what you respect either. Afterall, you're just one of those ignorant limp wristed Canadians and if I had known that, I would not have even replied to you. I would have just chalked it up to your Canadian ignorance and left well enough alone, Dudley.

    'Nuff said.

  • @LT1HILLINGHOE You are American and you speak of Ignorance ? LOOOOL

  • @benchod94 Yep. I speak of ignorant dumbass candian limpwristed 16 year old brats who don't know shit from Shinola. Look in the mirror boy....it's you. Bwahahahaha.

  • @LT1HILLINGHOE Dodge just has more.

    Let me tell you no one ANYWHERE OUTSIDE the USA cares about you let alone what you respect but Im sure you don't care because you think your above them you ignorant American.Don't fucking get mad at me just because you lost your job due to your broke ass countries economy so all you can do is sit on yt all day.

    Also Im very curious.What did you drive when you were 16?

  • @benchod94 I don't care if you, your foreign friend or anyone else respects Americans. The only reason Canada is still Canada, is because we have decided time and time again to not kick your weak asses. And the first car I ever owned was a 1966 Chevrolet Impala SS with a big block 396. Lost my job??...I can buy and sell you and your lame family anytime I want, boy. I don't work a job..I own a LLC business. Hahaha....living the high life.

    p.s. Kleenex on aisle 6, girly boy.

    The end.

  • @LT1HILLINGHOE Only reason Canada is still Canada is because we have not drained all our countries money and resources on some stupid military full of pussies that just spark hatred for our country around the world.

    Our government actually cares about the people.Our healthcare system is a good example of that.

    Our country is not full of a bunch of jobless overpatriotic retards with chinese dicks in their asses.

    This a fucking ford video.If you wanna talk about your shitty country fuck off.

  • @benchod94 Boo hoo boo hoo. Everytime an American tells the truth about a canadian dudley who's balls haven't dropped they get all crying mad. I am talking about your shitty country....and that country is canada. A country America doesn't want because there is too much stupid there...but if we did want it we would just kick your asses and take it. Even England thinks of canada as a red headed step child. Now go play with your honda jap junk and remain quiet..the adults are talking now, kid.

  • @LT1HILLINGHOE You can't even provide a single logical reason as to why its stupid.

    "Boo hoo boo hoo"? "too much stupid there"?

    I'm sorry how old are you?

    Lol fucking retard.

    "Jap Junk"? and thjen you call me ignorant.

    Also what do you think anyone else thinks of America.Its probably not very nice.

    Retarded Americans like you are usually the only people who talk shit on Canada.

    Must be some kind of Inferiority complex.

  • @benchod94 Shhhhhh......the adults are talking now, kid.

  • @LT1HILLINGHOE blow it out your ass

    retard

  • Ecoboost in the Fiesta FTW!!!!!

  • @OverlyExcitedNewJack

    I believe you're thinking about Dodge.

  • @AK47PERFORMANCE yup i agree thats sounds like Dodge to me

  • @AK47PERFORMANCE Or Pontiac. Ford doesnt strike me as gaudy in any way. Even the blackwood was a pretty nice package.

  • @AK47PERFORMANCE true they do look pretty gaudy, but that cummins will smoke you 6.0 powerstroke...

  • @OverlyExcitedNewJack i honestly like the look of these tauruses but yeah the f-series are ugly as fuck.

  • Dear Ford, please make an EcoBoost V8 and put it in the Mustang!!! Heck, put it in the Fiesta!

  • @punchmaster123 lmao a v8 in a fiesta would b overkill

  • يا لبيييه

    بس 60 عن كم

  • @fahad1234saad يعني 100 كيلو في الساعة

    

  • @fahad1234saad

    100 كم / س

  • ...all out of a twin turbo 3.4(maybe 5) L v6 (24valve DOHC).... great job FORD!! (oh and the 6 speed it is coupled to is just A+.... endo story there.

  • That's pretty damn fast for a family car!!!

  • @bliglum this certainly aint no family car buddy

  • @punchmaster123 LOL, Yeah it is.. It's a fast car, for a man that needs more than two doors/seats for his family. If said man didn't have a family, he'd get something like a mustang 5.0 or camaro SS for thousands less would he not?

  • thats fucking awesome love the new taurus twin turbos 365 hp in a family sedan lmfao

  • @quas420 damn, that fast, makes my 285hp v8 look like shit. time for an engine swap!!!

  • @TradeMark2003 You must have the LT1.

  • @Quatermain98526 LM7 actually, which turned into a turbo charged ls1, which last december turned into a pile of scrap metal thanks to a drunk driver. gotta start all over.

  • jesus that was fast!!!

  • DAMN!!!! thats fast

  • Very quick 0-60, but the car is too damn heavy. Over 4300 lbs and the brakes are barely any better than the regular SEL. I'll wait and hope they put that engine into the Fusion.

  • @hartsickdisciple I was thinking the same thing about the fusion

  • @hartsickdisciple that would be pretty nice

  • @hartsickdisciple im waiting for them to put it in the fiesta lol

  • nice whip. time to turn up the boost.

  • @DizzyMan24

    They have twin turbos

  • @AK47PERFORMANCE Hmmmmm.... Must have been theolder ones then.

  • @DizzyMan24 pretty sure you need to use google before you speak.

  • Eco boost is pretty good, but this it just looks like they caught up to the japanese market, this is twin turbo, 2003-2006 accords get 5.9 sec 0-60 with MT, and its only 3.0l and if you turbo that it will fly way faster.

    But this car looks bigger, I never been in one but they look sick

  • FORD BLOWS

  • this thing is fast even its very heavy

  • wow!!! spanked the 2010 camaro and the 2010 mustang!!!! IMPRESSIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • um im an import guy mainly. but i respect all cars. my defintion of ricer is a mind set not a just a honda. that being said i would rock the hell out of a new sho taurus

  • The SHO copies the Acura Tl front

  • Love the SHO, sublime1615 can fuck himself

  • wow

    

  • God, i can't wait to get a new sho, infact make that 2012 sho.

  • damn, this thing moves...

  • i would love to get one of this engines for my 4.2L f-150.......on another note this friggin car is fast considering how much i weighs, im 19 and i love this kind of cars.

  • @TheGuyWhoDidUrM0M they make new f-150s with this motor now

  • Love this car. Its so impressive. The newer models are supposed to have even a little more boost to them

  • Very impressive Acceleration for such a Large Car....the Sixth Generation Taruses are bad ass.

  • Great video, im always interested in seeing 0-60 videos.

  • damn is that stock?

  • @GT500Shelby07 it may be a good family sedan but when it comes to performance, nothing can compensate for the mustang gt. ive driven both the mustang gt 5.0 and the new taurus sho. the sho is quick but its boring.

  • this engine is a beast. now, if they put it in the fusion, then it would shit on anything it stood against. lol

  • Lol at Sublime. This car is a full sized sedan and weighs over two tons..I'd say its a pretty fast 0-60 time under the circumstances. I don't see why you'd compare it to an eclipse anyways? Shut up you riceburner fuckface XD

  • I love the Taurus SHO, but don't like the regular N/A Taurus. I would have loved to see a showdown between a Taurus SHO, Charger RT, and Pontiac G8 GT.

  • Holy mother......that's quick

  • Quite nice for a car that big!

  • Nice, 5 second 0-60 times used to be held only by Ferraris and Porshe's. Now you can buy a 5 second 0-60 family sedan that does it for right around 40K. This car may not be for all, however, this car is for the family man that had to sell his Mustang or Corvette for the family truckster. You can also tune this baby up and it will hang with anything!!

  • Bad ass rides. Oh and I'm always having to pick up my Audi, Vw buddies from the shop. Funny thing I pick them up in a ford!!

  • Nice dash cluster

  • Let me just state this is an amazing car however I am torn between buying a SHO and waiting to see if Ford drops the ecoboost in the much needed Fusion Sport. Now, As I read through these comments I see two types of people. Teenagers and adults. To the individuals that are talking about eclipse and their other sources of DSM love let me remind you that your talking about 2nd generation vehicles. Face it your car is almost as old as you. I owned a TSi and it was the biggest piece of trash ever.

  • Also if your going to compare Dodge a SRT neon would 'romp' any 2g DSM vehicle you manage to put together with ebay parts. But lets face it at the end of the day your still driving a Neon or a 15 year old car worth slightly more than your shirt. Sure the SHO is expensive all good things are. Sure you can buy a GSX and sink 10k into it and be 'way ahead' but when you grow up your realize that there is more to life than ripping out your air conditioner to get 5 hp to your underdrive pulley setup.

  • Comment removed

  • I see ALOT of people commenting and obviously not having the slightest idea of why their talking about the SHO isn't your run of the mil Taurus but of course explain that to ricer boy and the gang. These new SHOs ran mid 12s I believe with ONLY a tune. My 1989 runs 13s and I've done very minimal work to it

  • i was at the street races the other night  and this thing was smoking a roushe and a cts-v. I knew something was in there........... fucking sleeper

  • audi was also named most unrealiable for 2010

  • Was that the turbo v6 with the 6 speed paddle shift? BTW, live the taurus, very nice car

  • @DizzyMan24

    It has paddle shifters, but I left it in Drive for this video. Just floor it and hang on.

  • @AK47PERFORMANCE super nice.. just wish they made sticks and not paddles... i think it takes away from the true driving experience... but still nice ride

  • nice car...you get the nice ride of a brand new car with decent mpg/acceleration

    all these fools on here talking about they're cheap little plastic eclipses are a joke

    oh ya lets put a turbo on a stock motor without building the engine up yoru a bunch of fools this car is better than any stupid little girly looking trashy plastic eclipse

  • someday i am going to grow up because i dont pull out. i'm gonna trade in my totally awesome little kid car in for a totally awesome big people car.

  • that kid who said he could buy an Audi s4 for 12K. well I own a 2010 s4. it cost me 54K not 12k. Not unless it was built in the 80's. But lets be practical its a ford taurus NOT a performance car. If you want performance Then buy a BMW or Mercedes or Audi otherwise shut your mouth. Ive had it with 16 year old kids trying to rev there 4 cylinder honda engines at me only to get walked all over. wont matter how much money you spend on a piece of crap honda or eclipse with spray painted rims.

  • hahahaha your comparing personality to an Audi.

    "awesome" technology... shows how much you really know.

    why dont you go look at the options on a 2000 S4.

    thats over 10 years ago and it has everything PLUSS more than that ford has.

    im saying.. for fast cars, and good technology, FORD IS WAYYY BEHIND!

  • I counted 4.7 seconds!

  • @AnonymoussourceL0L Yeah, that scared me for a sec, and I wasn't even driving!

  • rightt. because a 13 second car is fasttt!

    GTFO STevenmoron with your still jew fro bs.

    you have no clue what your talking about. i bet you cant even drive yet.

  • its clearly a car my mom would drive.

    this is a family car. 4 door. good safety features, you know...

    something only people with a VAGINA IN BETWEEN THERE LEGS would drive.

    DRIVE AN AUDI.

  • @sublime1615 not everyone is 50+ years old. some people want a car with personality, not an audi.

  • Who would actually take a beater 4G63 pieced together in your garage when they could have a SHO in the drive way?!?!

    Besides the fact that you can get a 2010 with under 25k miles for 28.8k.

    AND its AWD, 25mpg, and super plush on the inside.

    This is clearly a big boy car....

  • audi, audi, audi, audi, audi, audi. eclipse, eclipse, eclipse, eclipse, eclipse, eclipse. You are so cooooooooool. Nice SHO man.

  • for some reason it seems like these engines struggle when there around 6000 rpms it seems like the redline should be at around maybe 5700 or so

  • okay.. its a 3.5D motor.. with 2 turbos.

    i could tt a 3.5V motor in a chevy.

    all im trying to say is. the sport, luxury and price all felll in the range of an Audi.. which is over 10 years old... its like kids are drooling over this when Audi created a sports car which over all has the same benefits as this Ford that was just created 10 years later. i'd say ford is a little behind.

  • @sublime1615

    The ecoboost will go over 150k... in a truck, at full throttle over half the time, plus 1000 miles in Baja. And with all the internals still well within spec. Didn't you go to the Detroit Auto Show this year? Oh not to mention that Audi you're comparing it to is a 10 year old car. Educate yourself on this incredible motor Ford has produced and you will understand why it is well worth the money spent.

  • @AK47PERFORMANCE this car isnt worth no 40 grand. its not that great. now.. the ford mustang gt 5.0 is a masterpeice. and it costs almost 10 grand less. it has plenty of rear seat room as well. im 6'2 and i fit perfectly in the rear seat of the mustang without the driver having to compromise all of his room.

  • @ryu1036 They are both great cars but the Mustang is just more of a fun car. I love driving my Mustang but I the Taurus is just so much more luxurious. If you like the car, then it's definitely worth the extra money.

  • @ryu1036 Don't be an ass, their not even meant to do the same thing, You can't get AWD on a mustang, this is included on the SHO as an option to better suite all weather drivers who are going to be actually...oh you know...driving in inclement weather and not on straight shots or tracks all damn day... apples to oranges big fella, almost seems to me like your a little ticked because the SHO is almost as fast as Ford's flagship sports cars...LOL.

  • @NancyPelosi1954 bend over

  • @sublime1615 you Eclipse doesn't weigh 4000lbs either.

  • @sublime1615 yea i bet the gsx is wicked qwick right? weighing in at what 2900 pounds...that taurus weighs in at 4400 pounds and probably isnt that much slower if ANY at all than your car.I think everyone is stocked because its a big ass car with 4 doors and plenty of room...not a micro machine....and maybe you should post a video of your car beating an SHO before you talk a bunch shit

  • @sublime1615 wow man a 2900 pound micro machine vs a 4400 pound 4 door sedan...and you probably would barely win if any at all

  • @sublime1615 In an eclipse? Wow you own a girls car. Your piece of shit eclipse would be left in the dust, by a car that is way more fuel efficient and reliable then your piece of shit eclipse.

  • @sublime1615 guy is talkin about eclipes and audi on a ford tor ass video 

  • @sublime1615 this is a ridiculous comparison. a full size sedan, to a 95 GSX? why are you even looking at this video if you understand so little about why people buy cars? this is for people who need a big sedan but want performance.

    also, the audi comparison -- go ahead and look at ford's own video of this "walking" an A6 V8. this SHO also gets good mileage while being loaded with awesome technology that even audi can't match.

    still, comparing this to an eclipse... so funny.

  • @sublime1615 the SHO is a full size sedan meant for solid performace. An eclipse is the biggest piece of shit on earth, wouldnt be suprised if a built eclipse blew up after 2 miles of hard driving lol. Bottom line, this would walk a eclipse.....might even beat that s4 you obviously have a woody over. There's videos of the SHO beating a 2011 5.0 with only a tune.
