2011 Bentley Continental GT / Ducati Diavel

British luxury car maker Bentley is staying true to its bestseller, the brand has unveiled an all-new Continental GT.
For 2011, the baby Bentley is getting a much-needed redesign with more machismo and charisma built into the body panels. Flared rear haunches accentuate the car’s widened stance, while the new grille design and sleek profile give it a more sporty appearance—but the new Bentley Continental GT is much more than a pretty show car. The big coupe comes with a more powerful 6-liter twin-turbocharged W-12 engine that produces a respectable 567 horsepower and is built to run on either E85 ethanol or premium petroleum. This added power—along with a 150-pound weight reduction from the previous model—help the remodeled GT sprint to 60 mph in 4.4 seconds and carry on to a top speed of 198 mph.
However, the biggest news for the Bentley Continental GT comes in the form of a 4-liter V-8 engine, which—when paired with a new 8-speed transmission—brings it that much closer to its corporate cousin: the Audi A8. Those who wish to differentiate themselves should go for the W12 version, which will carry a starting sticker price of $189,900 when it goes on sale early next year.


Ducati Diavel

Brutish and undoubtedly polarizing amongst Ducatistas, the new Diavel brings a throaty crusier into the stable packing a 162 horses and 94 lb-ft of torque. The bike is also as high-tech as it is powerful. You’ll find bells and whistles galore like keyless start and a ride-by-wire throttle with three riding modes.
