"We were not surprised when Ford pulled the cover off an EcoBoost-powered Taurus at the Chicago show. However, we were surprised that the new EcoBoost Taurus is only available as an SHO, a Super High Output version. The SHO name hasn&amp;#039;t been used since 1999, but it&amp;#039;s appropriate here. The new 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V-6 EcoBoost engine sends 365-bhp and 350 ft-lb. of torque to all four wheels via a 6-speed automatic. Clearly, this car isn&amp;#039;t only about fuel economy, as its EcoBoost name suggests. In general, the SHO is tuned for a sporting driving experience with revised suspension, electric-assist power steering, steering-wheel paddles and a transmission that rev-matches on downshifts. EcoBoost economy and SHO performance might seem at odds, but the goal was to provide V-8 performance with V-6 fuel economy. The mpg isn&amp;#039;t known yet, but Ford expects an EPA highway mileage rating of 25 mpg. This would match a BMW 335xi and beat a 550i! For an even sportier SHO, there is a performance package that revises the suspension components, adds custom sticky 20-in. Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar tires, shortens the final drive from 2.77:1 to 3.16:1, swaps the brake linings for something more durable and gives the driver an off setting for the stability control system. At a starting price of $37,995 the new Taurus SHO will give the Pontiac G8 GXP and Dodge Charger a good fight and maybe even slap a BMW around a bit. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
