For the 1993 model year, Ford Taurus performance sedan comes with an automatic transmission for the first time. Since its introduction way back 1989, the vehicle’s one and only transmission is 4-speed accompanying the 5-speed manual. Engineers did slight modifications to the engine and for this year, Taurus SHO now comes with a 3.2-liter, 220 horsepower translation of the 3-liter, 220 horsepower 24 valve V-6 that has been the sole source of power and is offered only with 5-speed before 1993.

 

The 3-liter with 5-speed continuously become the standard engine while the 3.2-liter with automatic was made as an option. The 1993 Taurus SHO also features MacPherson struts with coil springs, nitrogen gas pressurized shocks, stabilizer bars, speed-sensitive variable assist power steering, a thick, comfortable steering wheel, and a 16-inch steel-belted radials which make the most of your grip of the road while limiting sway, lean, bumping or bouncing as well. It is a refined suspension that doesn’t come too firm or too unkind for the daily travelers. Taurus SHO also has a standard automatic transmission and braking system, driver-side air bag and an optional passenger-side air cushion. It’s a performance and safety package rolled into one.
