2010 Ford Taurus SHO: Check This Car Out!

2010 Ford Taurus SHOAlthough Ford is one of my least favorite brands of cars, I have to say that when I saw the new 2010 Ford Taurus SHO, I have to say that I drooled a little bit. This car is absolutely beautiful in all aspects and while I think that the original Ford Taurus looks like a pill, I have to say that this newer, fresher and sportier version is actually something that I might consider buying. Ford promises that the 2010 Ford Taurus SHO will reduce fuel consumption and the performance will be increased … we’ll have to see about that.

The cool thing I think about the 2010 Ford Taurus SHO is the fact that it is powered by a 3.5-liter, twin-turbocharged, EcoBoost V6 engine that is coupled with a six-speed 6F55 SelectShift transmission and an All-Wheel Drive System, 2010 Ford Taurus SHO may outputs 365 hp at 5,500 rpm and 350 ft.-lbs. of torque at 3,500 rpm. Do I need to say more?

Of course I do! The price should be just under $40,000 – which for a car of this status, it is pretty freakin’ good!

Subaru impreza wrcProdrive Ltd. is known as a group of motorsport and car engineering that is located in Banbury, Oxfordshire, England. They are also known to draw up plans, build and put its cars on the race track for the well-known companies and groups such as Aston Martin and Subaru.

Like other race teams, Prodrive sells its race cars after giving them up from the competition. Either to other competitive teams for another racing event, and some will go to avid race car fans that are willing to collect such fine beauties.

Now that Prodrive has a handful of their own creation which is now in the retirement phase, it is only time for them to find their new home. To help with this plan, Prodrive is now providing a listing program on their own website for sellers.
