The 2011 Taurus continues its legacy of safety leadership, beginning with a body structure optimized for strength and stiffness. The energy-absorbing front structure features octagonal front frame rails, tunnel rails and �shotgun� front structural members designed to absorb and redirect crash forces away from the passenger compartment. The Taurus body structure features ultra-high-strength boron steel in the B pillar for added side-impact protection. Taurus is equipped with a comprehensive package of active and passive safety features, including dual-stage driver and front passenger airbags, side-impact airbags and the Ford-exclusive Safety Canopy System.
