New Mexico Ford Dealer Welcomes 2011 Ford Taurus SHO

July 30, 2010 - PRLog -- New Mexico Ford dealer, Don Chalmers Ford, is pleased to announce that the all-new 2011 Ford Taurus SHO is now available at their Albuquerque and Rio Rancho Ford dealerships.

Taurus SHO is back for 2011, powered by a Super High Output (SHO) EcoBoost twin-turbocharged engine. Building on the legacy of the original model, Taurus SHO has again been embraced by the automotive enthusiast community, being named Esquire magazine’s first-ever “Car of the Year.”

Introduced in 1989, Taurus SHO was conceived as a discreet performance-oriented sports sedan, ideally suited to the automotive enthusiast needing the room and capability of a four-door full-size car. Produced through 1999, more than 100,000 models were sold.

The foundation of the 2011 Taurus SHO is a 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged EcoBoost V-6 engine. This advanced powerplant generates an estimated 365 horsepower at 5,500 rpm and 350 ft.-lb. of torque at 3,500 rpm, resulting in significantly improved power, torque and fuel economy compared with larger, normally aspirated engines. From the driver’s seat, the result is linear power delivery across a broad torque band from 1,500 to 5,500 rpm. Peak torque building quickly ensures responsive acceleration from a standing start.

The 2011 Ford Taurus SHO is available with an excess of standard and available technology and safety features that include SYNC® voice-activated communications and entertainment system with Traffic, Directions & Information, SIRIUS® satellite radio with initial six-month subscription, Voice-activated navigation with SIRIUS Travel Link™ and HD Radio®, including iTunes song-tagging ability, Multi-Contour seats with Active Motion, Intelligent access with push-button start, Side Protection And Cabin Enhancement (SPACE) Architecture® comprised of a hydroformed cross-car beam embedded in the floor between the door frames, providing additional strength in the side of the vehicle, Personal Safety System® consisting of sensors that note right front occupant weight, seat belt usage, outboard seat belt tension and seating position to optimize airbag deployment force for occupant safety, AdvanceTrac with ESC and much more.

Don Chalmers Ford reminds consumers that eighty-four percent of customers who purchased a 2010 Ford, Lincoln and Mercury car or truck were satisfied with the vehicle’s quality and Ford has the fewest number of vehicle defects among all full-line manufacturers in the first three months of ownership.  With the 2011 models, Ford is poised to meet and exceed those customer satisfaction numbers.

New Mexico Ford dealership, Don Chalmers Ford, welcomes area residents to experience the 2011 Ford Taurus SHO.
