When Ford announced its all-new 2010 Taurus SHO as a new-generation premium performance sedan, we took it to mean the term literally. So what better yardstick to measure Ford's claim than a current premium performance sedan with a proven record, the 2009 Infiniti G37 Journey?
The twin-turbo Taurus wouldn't have it easy, seeing how the Infiniti G35 sedan had dethroned the BMW 335i sedan in our five-car comparison last year. More recently a G37 devoured Acura's high-tech TL SH-AWD without so much as a by-your-leave in a head-to-head comparison.
But perhaps the reanimated Super High Output (SHO) Taurus will once again have a few sleeper sedan tricks for the establishment.
@colderbeer
Because the SHO is a twin turbo which has 365 HP & 350 LBFT...It actually ran 13.7 @ 103.9 in car & driver. Ford underrates their cars for some reason. These are by far the worst numbers I've seen for either of these two cars.

How come the far lighter and much smaller Nissan/ Infinity car is posting track numbers that are just a little better than the much larger and heavier Ford? Seriously...this test makes the Nissan / Infinity look bad...

ford couldve made this car even better if they had partnered with yamaha again. a 1989 sho still can beat cars from 2010... thats saying something
