With appealing looks and great comforts, the
2008 Ford Taurus SHO is a wolf in sheep's
clothing. The car recently received the
government’s highest five-star front crash
test rating, and there are a number of other
Taurus parts worth noting, too. New for 2008, the Ford Taurus comes in six different
models:
- Taurus LX
- SE
- SES
- SEL
- SE Wagon
- Taurus SL Wagon
We have information about each of these models here, as well
as information about some of the available 2008 Ford Taurus
SHO body kits, and the available Taurus transmissions. We
hope the information we have here answers all of your questions.
Please let us know.
New for this year, all of the Taurus models share two different
engines:
- The Taurus LX and Taurus SE come standard with a 3.0-liter
FFV 2V V-6 that delivers 155 horsepower at 4,900 rpm
- The Taurus SES, Taurus SE Wagon, and the Taurus SL Wagon
come standard with a 3.0-liter OHC 2V V-6 that delivers
155 horsepower at 4,900 rpm and 200 pounds-per foot of torque
at 5,650 rpm
