The loved Ford Taurus sedan has made it’s final mark on history. On March 1,
More than 8 million Taurus passenger cars were built at Ford’s Chicago Assembly Plant over 34 years of near continuous production.
“Taurus broke new ground at its start and we’re thankful for its role in our portfolio,” said Mark LaNeve, Ford vice president, U.S. marketing, sales
The first Taurus was introduced at the 1985 Los Angeles Auto Show representing the latest in Ford engineering and design, developed to meet shifting consumer needs. It set for bar for sedans, by its sleek design that was a departure from the boxy sedan shapes of the time. Its 140-horsepower 3.0-liter V6 engine featured multi-port fuel injection.
Keeping up with the rest in 1989 the SHO model came equipped with a 220-horsepower high-performance V6.
By 1992, Taurus had become America’s best-selling car.
Taurus went on to become a staple in American stock car racing when it entered NASCAR in 1998. The Taurus NASCAR was the vehicle of choice for numerous race teams and it delivered many championships for them and for Ford Motor Company.
Like the original Taurus met changing consumer preferences, Ford is also expanding its lineup with new and returning nameplates tailored to today’s consumers, including the all-new Ranger, all-new Bronco, a yet-to-be-named rugged off-road small utility, a Mustang-inspired fully-electric performance utility and more still to come.
