seventytwo Still have a turbo, it's just on a diesel.

But god I hope not.

They were testing it in Michigan about a year ago, and it was a possibility then, but Ford has since axed it and unveiled the 365hp AWD Taurus SHO in its stead. I think Ford AU would be handing over sales to Expensive Daewoo if they replaced the Falcon with the new Taurus, so don't expect to see ours any sooner than we see yours. Here's a good video of the show car. Ford has been kicking some serious ass in this hemisphere lately. I hate the engine shots, though. A TTV6 and all we see is an acre of black plastic? Damn engine covers.

Pete A Member 442 Member For: 16y 6m 13d Gender: Male Location: Castle Hill NSW Posted 06/03/09 02:25 AM Share Posted 06/03/09 02:25 AM Twin boosted V6 sounds interesting but develops less than the current 6T and Phoon. What torque will it provide? As for styling? We'll keep the local stuff thanks!

Hennessey is already working on his SHO package, so we'll see how it stacks up then. From what I've seen of the crappy 'dyno sheet' Ford put out, the torque curve is pretty flat. VW turbo flat.

I think it will kick ass over there... plus some american r&d on them would be interesting to see as well...
