The engine will be 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged EcoBoost V6, power plant will manage 350 lb.-ft of torque and produce mind blowing 365 horse power @ 5,500 rpm . Its power is slightly less compared to the original but due to its new Six-speed automatic or maybe 8-speed automatic gearbox which is in developing, the 2016 Ford Taurus SHO is much faster.
In terms of speed, the car is expected to get to accelerate 0- 60 mph in just 5.2 seconds and reach maximum speed of 160 mph and will have permanent all-wheel drive.

I’m sure about the rear end. 2015 is very attractive from the back. With the LED lights and wide rear. Making the back end tapper in doesn’t give it that muscle look to me. I had a 97 SHO. Miss it. Have a flex right now. Love it. It has the Eco boost in it. Love the speed. But do not need all the room. Plan to change to a Taurus or edge when my lease is up in 2017

I drive a 2013 SHO and every time I push the start button a smile comes to my face. I purchased it new and have experience zero maintenance problems
I am waiting for the 2017 SHO but I hope Ford has improved the quality of the leather seats because my 2011 Tarus leather seats are very poor quality! I bought Tarus because of roomy trunk, fold down rear seats, and interior cabin space. I don’t want to pay more money for a SHO and still have inferior leather seats!
