New Ford Taurus 2013


Ford’s updating their Taurus for the 2013 model year to deliver even more refinement, efficiency and style than ever. More technology, improved craftsmanship and advanced driving dynamics are on board for the ride, too.


“We have significantly upgraded Ford’s flagship sedan through obsessive attention to detail,” said Mark Fields, Ford’s president of The Americas. “The new Taurus builds on the transformation we achieved in the 2010 model. Delivering so many upgrades so soon further underscores Ford’s leadership and commitment to delivering high-quality, fuel-efficient cars for our customers.”

Fuel efficient? You read that right. Notable in the 2013 Taurus’s updates is the addition of a new 2.0L EcoBoost engine that employs turbocharging and direct-injection technology to turn out about 240 horsepower alongside fantastic mileage figures.


The standard 3.5L V6 should generate about 290 horsepower, and has now been fitted with Ford’s slick Twin Independent Variable Cam Timing (TI-VCT) technology for even better emissions and mileage performance.

Smart battery management, deceleration fuel shutoff and electric power steering help trim away at fuel consumption as well. A six-speed automatic transmission with engine-specific gear ratio selection will be standard.

Look for Ford’s MyTouch interface, advanced SYNC functionality and park assist technology as part of the package, too. A new heated steering wheel, multi-contour Active Motion seats, rain-sensing wipers and a rearview camera will also be on board.


Exterior styling tweaks include a more muscular hood, larger wheels and tires as well as revised rear quarter panels that enable the use of larger taillamps. Ford says that without altering overall dimensions, they’ve made the 2013 Taurus look more streamlined and sporty.

Audi S3

The Audi S3 was ahead of its time. While all-wheel drive and turbocharged four-cylinders are common in modern hot hatches, this pocket-rocket arrived in 1999, when they were comparatively rare. Did someone say ‘future classic’?  In contrast, there is some old-school hardware mixed with the then new. You have a six-speed manual gearbox, for example, with an intuitive shift action. There’s also some classic turbo lag to contend with, although many will likely enjoy the thrill of the surge.  Once on boost, you’ll be deploying 207bhp from its 1.8-litre engine – if your Audi S3 is a pre-2001 example. After that year and until production ceased in 2003, the model came with 222bhp. The all-wheel drive system the power is sent through, while called quattro, is actually the Haldex set-up often found in Volkswagen Group cars. This means it is primarily front-wheel drive and sends power to the rear only when needed. And it puts that power down well – provided the car is on decent tyre
