Here's the 2011 Bentley Continental GT, which is the second generation of the blockbuster coupe that rumbled ashore eight years ago. The 2011 Conti gets a boost in horsepower from its 6.0-liter twin-turbo W12 engine, hitting 567 horsepower and 516 pound-feet. Its engine swipes a page from the Continental Supersports playbook and gains flex-fuel capability, accepting any combination of gasoline and E85
