The 2010 Ford Taurus SHO is not a production car; Ford looks at it as more of a preproduction prototype. There are so many great things to talk about on the car, but it is the new Ecoboost V-6 engine that we are most interested in.

The car certainly goes fast, and that is evident with the amount of tire squealing and how fast the scenery was passing by when Inside Line was taken out for a test drive with Christina Rodriguez. The 2010 Ford Taurus SHO was first spoken about at 2009 Chicago Auto Show, so it is nice to see that the car is coming on.

The centerpiece of the car has to be that sexy engine, with its twin-turbo 3,496cc V6, which helps to produce 365 horsepower. The EcoBoost system, which is Ford’s name for its direct injection and turbocharging system, the result is improved fuel economy thanks to a balance of good throttle response and good power.
