Amazing engine, crammed into a floaty-boat family sedan that was, frankly, completely unsuitable for the application. The point of the SHO was, to be able to comfortably drive around in your normal-looking Taurus sedan, and when you wanted to, take off like a Saturn V rocket.
Moreover, the original SHO, much like this one, was essentially an afterthought. Ford had a big warehouse full of Yamaha engines that needed a home.
In this case, Ford is shipping EcoBoost V6 motors to the Chicago plant for the MKS, so they figured, why not throw it in a Taurus while we're at it?
