Still one of the coolest-looking engines ever to come out of Detroit- well, the Yamaha V6s were installed in Detroit, anyway- Taurus SHO was quite the hot rod back in '89. This would have had the effect of making the non-SHO Taurus seem even more boring, had such a thing been possible. 220 horsepower doesn't seem like much these days, even in a front-driver, but that engine even looks good when it's sitting in the junkyard!
