Taurus SHO

oldernewbie · May 6th, 2009, 12:57 PM

...a few lines from a Ford clip I read..

In the case of Ford's new EcoBoost engine, injectors pulse out a complex series of injections that cool the air in the cylinder before combustion. Combined with twin turbochargers, they help get as much power as possible from the burning fuel.

In the Taurus SHO, which goes on sale this summer, a 3.5 liter 6-cylinder engine produces up to 365-horsepower. That's 16% more power than Ford gets out of the 4.6-liter V8 engine in the Mustang GT.

The thing you lose with fewer cylinders is some of smoothness. While it really does provide a V8 feel, there's is that high-spinning V6 sound under hard acceleration. But this is a Ford Taurus, after all, not a grumbling muscle car. Most buyers will happily give up a little sound quality for the sake of a lighter gas bill and more power.

^did you take that pic? Its great quality. If so what type of camera?

that "eco boost" has potential. hopefully the motor will be built bulletproof and will allow for massive boost upgrade aftermarket. will be like the evos and wrx etc. but with another 2 cylinders and more displacement.

360hp stock and up the boost and some bolt ons= 500?
