As it turns out, identifying the quickest cars in Australia for 2021 is not an easy feat. Not only do they need to be available locally, they also need to meet our criterion of completing the 0-100km/h sprint in under three seconds. You may be expecting to see brands such as BMW, Audi and Mercedes, but interestingly, they don't make the cut. Audi's R8 Performance misses out, clocking a time of 3.3 seconds, while the BMW M8 and Mercedes-Benz AMG GT 63 S both get there in 3.2 seconds.

When we’re not creating it ourselves, the CarAdvice team spends a lot of time finding and consuming motoring content from all over the world. Here’s a handful of the photos, articles, videos or social media posts that most caught our eye last week. Some of them are brand new, others have been online for a while. Enjoy them – just not too much, okay?

The limited-edition 2021 McLaren 765LT is now available in Australia. Locals can order from a global production pool of just 765 examples, with prices to start from $609,650 before on-roads. The McLaren 765LT is the brand's most-expensive 'super series' offering, and continues the theme on limited-edition 'Longtail' variants.

McLaren's upcoming hybrid supercar has been given a name: Artura. Due to launch in the first half of 2021, the Artura is the (indirect) replacement for the British brand's popular Sports Series line of supercars – consisting of 540C, 570S, 570GT, 600LT and 620R variants – and, unlike its predecessors, shifts away from a numerical nameplate derived from the car's power output, towards a word-based moniker.
