4. Ford Taurus SHO
Even Ford has a sleeper capable of surprising Mustang drivers—the Taurus SHO. At first glance, it’s an everyday full-sized sedan, blending seamlessly into traffic.
But beneath its reserved exterior lies Ford’s potent 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged Ecoboost V6, producing an impressive 365 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque.
Coupled with a sophisticated all-wheel-drive system, the Taurus SHO surges from 0-60 mph in just over five seconds, closely matching the Mustang GT’s acceleration times.
This combination of subtle looks, turbocharged punch, and AWD traction makes the Taurus SHO the perfect sleeper candidate to catch muscle car enthusiasts by surprise.
