Ford Taurus (1992-1995) for Sale near Montreal, QC

Ford took an otherwise boring run of the mill Taurus and decided to drop in the 3.0L Yamaha built V6 that they had contracted Yamaha to built. They mated it to a Mazda built 5 speed transaxle (more 93-95 cars however had a Ford automatic) which provided positive, solid shifts, although not nearly as smooth as a Honda or BMW. A huge amount of work was done to the suspension tuning, making it stiffer, adding bigger anti-roll bars, and doing everything possible to dial back torque steer. Along with the minor exterior changes, front facia, rear bumper, small trunk mounted spoiler, alittle body clading and 16" wheels (up from the base Taurus's 15's) the interior was upgraded with leather seating and sunroofs on some cars, a standard auto climate control, and an optional JBL audio system. The car tracks straight on the highway, and can hold its own on back roads, as long as maintenance is is kept up on the suspension. Steering feel is good and torque steer is very controllable, only showing itself in first gear on bumpy or wet roads. For most of the earlier SHO's brakes were a weak point. They were just alittle unndersized, never lacking in stopping power, but if subjected to alot of highspeed braking, or track use were easily warped after a few 5 or 10 thousand miles. The 220hp Yamaha however is a unique engine that makes you crave flooring it to listen and feel the secondary intake runners open above 4k rpm. Its raw power delivery is unlike any family sedan of today and you'll surprise many people when they look under the hood. This was one of Ford's best cars of the early 90's, when they were thriving and not afraid to try something alittle different.

Ah, what a fine car, quick, agile, and lot's of room for luggage.

I love this car so much and ppl call me crazy. this is the best body of the 3 SHO generations. This car has A 3.0L DOHC Yamaha engine with 220HP and 200 foot pounds. The car also came with a 3.2L but that was for the automatics and the autos had its share of problems. This car can do 140+ from factory and get 28mpg on the highway(i can personally vouch for both of these). Its bigger than the mustang but as long as the mustang isn't a cobra or have a H/O 5.0 this car will toast them.

Before the 1993 Taurus, I'd had 2 1988 Taurus', one 1986 Taurus and a 1988 Mercury Sable. The '93 was by far my favorite! Smooth, comfortable and so much fun to drive. It handled fabulous in any weather and looked great!

This is a FWD 60 degree, 24 valve, yamaha built, DHC 3.2 liter V6 mated w/ an AXODE automatic VU Automotive installed in the fall of 2010. stock hp 220hp/220tq qt mile 15.1 S.H.O. or Super High Output is a system the car uses to control 6 of the 12 intake runners control by vaccum opperated throttle bodies providing optimal hp and tq at both low and high rpms
