This Taurus is unrelated to the six before it: Changan Ford and Ford of Australia developed it as a long-wheelbase version of the Fusion.
This Taurus's whole look traces back to the design team's playlist — chief designer Earl Lucas said, "When you've got good music, it's amazing how many shapes come out."
Ford renamed the Five Hundred back to Taurus for 2008 to cash in on the old name — but kept shipping the same car to the Middle East still badged Ford Five Hundred.
The very last Taurus off the Atlanta line went to Chick-fil-A founder S. Truett Cathy — whose very first restaurant once sat right across the street from that plant.
In 1998 this Taurus became the first four-door sedan ever approved to race in NASCAR, stepping in for the two-door Thunderbird.
The Taurus SHO packed a 220hp Yamaha-built V6 that revved to 7,000 RPM -- and was the only Taurus ever sold with a manual gearbox.
The 1986 Taurus looked so futuristic that modified versions appeared as cars of the future in Back to the Future Part II.
Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
It briefly served as senior sibling to Marquette, a GM companion brand cancelled after just one year.
Nissan hired former BMW engineers to help develop the 510's suspension, which is why period reviewers frequently compared its handling to the BMW 1600/2002.
A Trabant 601 won its class at the 1970 Monte Carlo Rally, with a second 601 right behind it in second.
The 600 was a stopgap: the P50's body over the 601's mechanicals, and for a while its estate was built alongside the new 601 saloon.
The G80 Sport brought a 370 PS twin-turbo 3.3 V6, a mesh grille and copper-tinted chrome with copper stitching to match.
The Vigor was sold only with a five-cylinder engine, an unusual configuration Honda used to fit a longer engine transversely under a short hood.
The GS/E coupe earned the nickname "German Charger" for its long hood, short deck stance borrowed from Detroit muscle cars.
This DeVille/Fleetwood was the first production car anywhere to mount its V8 sideways, Cadillac's front-drive gamble on the new C-body.
