Hennessey unleashes 445-hp Ford Taurus SHO [w/video]
Fri, 26 Apr 2013
There's plenty to love about the madness that goes on at Hennessey Performance, but for us, it's the fact that the company has no loyalty to any brand or nameplate. If it's quick, it flies at Hennessey. The team recently turned their attention toward squeezing a bit more thrust from the latest-generation Ford Taurus SHO, and the result is the MaxBoost 445. Thanks to a cold-air induction system, new hard piping for the turbo, engine management calibration and a Corsa stainless steel cat-back exhaust, the car dumps 445 horsepower to all four wheels – a bunch more ponies than the standard car's already plentiful 365 hp. It even comes with a 1 year, 12,000 mile warranty.
If that sounds like a party, you can head over to the Hennessey site for more information. You can also watch a video of the MaxBoost 435 upgrade at work on Lincoln MKS twin in the video below.
