What is a SHO?
"SHO" stands for Super High Output. It is Ford's mis-marketed sport sedan
on the Taurus platform.
Several people have also pointed out that SHO in Japanese means
"victory". Since the engine was designed in Japan by Yamaha..........
The 96 - 99 SHO is equipped with a 235HP 32 valve V-8 manufactured for
Ford by Yamaha, a unique handling suspension, better seats, and unique
exterior trim. The regular Taurus and the SHO are as different as night and
day, unlike most "family" cars with sporty versions. The SHO, though it no
longer has the commanding lead in the sports sedan market that it did in the
late eighties/early nineties, is still one of the most remarkable cars for
the price available anywhere.
Why do we like them: Stealth, speed, performance, handling, comfort, and
that wonderful V8 sound!!!!
