Typically, automobile manufacturers will ratchet up a car’s performance from year to year to keep enthusiasm at a boil: bigger engine, more power, more speed. Bentley is about to take a somewhat different tack with its acclaimed Continental GT coupe and Continental GTC convertible.

For the 2013 model year, the British automaker’s two-door models—heretofore motivated only by a supremely smooth and titanically powerful 6.0-liter W-12 engine—will offer a highly advanced twin-turbo V-8. [See & Read More]

Video: 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL

We already showed you the leaked brochure pictures, so it's only right we give you an even better look at the new 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL with some official video footage. The 4.6-liter V8 sports 429 horsepower, and the body is made almost entirely from aluminum, meaning the vehicle shed about 300 pounds.

Those improvements equal 0-60 in 4.5 seconds. The roadster is now available to order, if you want to get a nice holiday gift for yourself. Enjoy.
