We heard yesterday from a group of Ford Taurus SHO fans who were questioned in a focus group (http://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/07/ford-holdss-taurus-sho-focus-group-in-chicago-what-does-it-mea/) by Ford employees working on the next Taurus program, so we know that the Blue Oval is at least considering a high performance version of the next Taurus. Combine that with a grainy cell phone pic (http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/09/spy-shots-2010-ford-taurus-finally/) we posted of what could be a design study for the next Taurus and you've got fertile elements for our friends over at BringBacktheSHO.com (http://www.bringbackthesho.com/phpnuke/index.php) who specialize in letting their imaginations run wild. Ryan Pasch who runs the website actually attended the focus group in question earlier this week, so these renderings (http://www.autoblog.com/photos/bringbackthesho-concept-v2/795048/) based off of that grainy camera phone pic may be more accurate than we realize. Pasch calls the car in his renders the BringBacktheSHO Concept V2, and judging from the pics in our gallery below, we're as ready for the SHO's triumphant return as he his.
