After essentially reinventing Bentley after its 2003 model year introduction, the automaker’s Continental GT has become something of an icon among high-end super luxury coupes. As such, Bentley chose the ever-popular “evolution over revolution” mantra for the redesigned 2011 Bentley Continental GT – with one twist: A nod to ever-stricter emissions standards.
Late next year, Bentley says that it will begin offering its four-seat coupe with a new 4.0-liter V8 engine, which will chop the current W12 model’s CO2 emissions by a whopping 40 percent. Bentley is sparse on details about the new V8, but it says that the high-output engine will “deliver all the exhilarating power and torque synonymous with the marque.”

All too often, people attempting to tighten their belts in tough economic times discover that there’s a little more around the middle than there used to be. That’s because many of those cheap eats advertised in Sunday circulars are processed foods loaded with fat and sodium, while restaurant value menus often are packed with fried foods filled with empty calories.
Surprisingly, trying to reduce your food budget can be an opportunity to eat right, according to American Dietetic Association (ADA) spokesperson Sarah Krieger, a registered and licensed dietitian/nutritionist. “It’s actually a blessing in disguise,” she notes.
