Cars Of 2021

AFTER THE YEAR we’ve had it’s easy to forget the seemingly unstoppable march of new fast cars remains in full swing. That’s despite catastrophic weather events, a global pandemic and the loss of local icons threatening, at times, to end all the fun.

As you’ll see, casting our gaze into 2021 only brightens the horizon for incoming fodder. Get ready for the Mach 1, our most track-focused atmo Ford Mustang yet, or the Chevrolet Corvette – Australia’s first taste of the high-performance GM brand’s halo product. The Mk8 VW Golf GTI will aim to set a new hot hatch benchmark, while Hyundai’s i20 N takes the brand into new, hotly contested waters.

At the top end of town, AMG’s Project One will bring F1-derived fantasy to life alongside Toyota’s allnew Le Mans hypercar. Brace yourself...

01 Alfa Romeo Giulia GTA

HOPES REMAIN high for Alfa Romeo’s track-terrorising Giulia GTA and GTAm to come here.

FCA UK has reportedly confirmed some of the 500 units planned will be right-hand drive, while FCA Oz maintains it’s looking at the 397kW twin-turbo V6 four-door for our shores.

Celebrating its 110th birthday, the pair sport wider tracks, tweaked suspension, new aero (adjustable on GTAm) and will ditch Pirelli for Michelin tyres.

The hardcore GTAm sheds 100kg and sports a two-seat cabin, while the GTA shares its carbon body panels and Lexan windows. The 1520kg GTA covers 0-100km/h in a claimed 3.6sec.

02 Mercedes-Benz S-Class
