Etymology

• The name "Taurus" derives from the Latin word for "bull," shared with the zodiac sign and the mythological Minotaur (the "Bull of Minos").
• In mythology, the Minotaur was a hybrid creature (part bull, part human), similar to how the Ford Taurus blends power (bull-like) with practicality (human-like engineering).

Trivia
