1991 Ford Taurus SHO Plus Yamaha 3.0 V6 DOHC in Staten Island, New York

Ford's Taurus SHO (Super High Output) model had an eleven-year run. In 1989 it was introduced with a Yamaha-built 3.0L V6 and only with a 5-speed transmission available. By the end-of-the-line in 1999 Yamaha was working with Ford on building the SHO's 3.4L V8 motor. Only a four-speed automatic was available in the later years.
Annual sales averaged about 7,000 to 8,000 SHO's a year, or about 2% of the total Taurus production.
