Thanks to our friends at BringBackTheSHO.com, we now have more evidence than ever that the SHO will rise again. These spy shots show a pair of serious looking Taurus sedans snapped along the I-75 corridor in Michigan (the greenish grass and lack of snow suggest they weren't taken recently). These two sedans are different from the Limited and SES models we saw at the Detroit Auto Show last week, wearing new wheels (at least 19 or 20 inches in diameter), a decklid spoiler, different tail-lights and a new rear bumper that extends lower over a pair of dual tail-pipes. There's also a conspicuous looking badge on the rear end that's covered with camo tape. What could it be? Who knows for SHO?

We expect to find Ford's new 3.5L EcoBoost V6 underhood, which produces 355 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque. Well, that's what the engine produces in the 2010 Lincoln EcoBoost MKS, 2010 Lincoln EcoBoost MKT and 2010 Ford EcoBoost Flex. Whether or not Ford increases the engine's power for SHO duty (it does stand for Super High Output, after all) remains to be seen, but expect all-wheel drive and a flappy paddle, six-speed gearbox to be standard equipment. The 2009 Chicago Auto Show, where we expect this car to debut, just got a whole lot more interesting.

The Charger and the gots noting to worry about.....this is a sharp ass car.....I think it might steal sales from the G8 (styling wise)

Wow

I have always been a sucker for the SHO, so this is cool by me. Hope they bring it back and don't hose it up.

I like it.

...why do you think it would steal sales from the G8, but not the Charger?

I'm wondering that as well.

This is an extremely nice looking car. If the SHO were to make a return, then AWESOME!!.

I think the reason he says this might steal sells from the G8 and not the Charger, the G8 and this are styled quite a bit alike, slightly rounded with nice placed sharp points, and still managing to look agressive and nice at the same time. The Charger is 80% attitude, 20% class (no offense Muscle Master). All are nice, but they are nice on different levels. Correct me if I'm wrong MM.

Very interesting. This will make a fine competitor to the G8 and Charger, and having AWD and a turbo 6 certainly differentiates it. How GM and Chrysler respond will be even more interesting. I'm liking how the traditional Detroit rivalry is shaping up.

i think this would steal sales from malibu more than g8

Front looks good, but the back could use some help.

The back end needs some serious redesigning. The bumper+trunk looks tall and squished. The taillights need to be a different deisgn for sure, something less boxy.

not that the SHO is anything bad...
but it always made me laugh to see one. the idea of the factory making a lower-class car 'fast' just has something amusing about it. it kinda reminds me of the

Shogun Festiva

Maxima FDSC (Four Door Sports Car)

Escort ZX2

stovt001 · 01-19-2009, 07:11 PM

lower-car fast, like a Nova SS or even a 1st Gen Camaro SS or Z28?
