2018 Ford Taurus SHO: unchanged in the brochure

This record's own dek states that the EcoBoost SHO carries on unchanged in its 2018 brochure: 365 hp, AWD, and the 3.16:1 SHO Performance Package. This record's own overview states that Ford's 2018 Taurus brochure lists the SHO's 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 at 365 hp, printed as 5,550 rpm, and 350 lb-ft across 1,500 to 5,000 rpm on 93-octane fuel, standard with all-wheel drive, a paddle-shift six-speed automatic, and a sport-tuned suspension, EPA-rated at 16 mpg city, 24 highway, and 19 combined.

This record's own overview states that Ford again quotes 5.5 seconds from 0 to 60 mph and a 14.4-second quarter-mile from its own testing, and that the SHO Performance Package lists an enhanced sport-tuned suspension with unique shocks and springs, high-performance front brake pads, sport-calibrated steering, AdvanceTrac with Sport Mode, a 3.16 final drive, an Alcantara-trimmed steering wheel, and P245/45R20 summer-only tires with an inflator and sealant kit. This record's own overview states that no production figures or reliable prices were found for 2018, consistent with this record's own prices section, which carries no entries at all for the year.

This record's own production section states that no production figures for this generation were found in a published source, with its own production row carrying a null value and a status of not-published. Its own production notes state that the SHO exterior colors documented in this record are those the 2018 Taurus brochure marks as available with the SHO interior trims, cautioning that the brochure is marketing material showing what was offered, not what was built. This record's own engines and transmissions sections likewise carry no production figure for the year, both fields left null.

This record's own engine entry carries a note stating that Ford's 2010–2016 brochures print the power peak as 5,500 rpm, against the 5,550 rpm printed in this record's own 2018 source, a discrepancy noted in this record's own engine data rather than resolved into a single figure. This record's own specifications section documents the 3.16:1 Performance Package final drive ratio and EPA ratings of 16 mpg city and 24 mpg highway, three specification entries in all for the year.

Seven exterior colors are documented for the year without production counts, including White Platinum Metallic Tri-coat, Ruby Red Metallic Tinted Clearcoat, and Burgundy Velvet Metallic Tinted Clearcoat, all at extra charge, alongside Ingot Silver, Blue, Magnetic, and Shadow Black, none carrying a production figure in this record. Two interior trims, coded 8 and 9, are documented: Charcoal Black leather, and Charcoal Black leather with Mayan Gray Miko inserts.

This record's own performance section documents the same Ford-claimed 5.5-second 0-60 mph time and 14.4-second quarter-mile, both explicitly marked as based on Ford testing, an advertising claim rather than an independent test, with package content on the tested car not stated. This record's own identification and conflicts sections are both empty for the year, a documented gap rather than an assumption that no such data exists, and its unpublished leads section carries no entries at all either.
