  • Exclusive cooperation between McLaren and Cevin Parker
  • Parker has designed a one-off wrap for the Artura, McLaren’s first series-production high-performance hybrid supercar
  • Throughout the year, the unique Artura will be exhibited at prestigious automotive industry and art market events

British luxury supercar maker McLaren Automotive today reveals an exclusive collaboration with acclaimed German artist Cevin Parker in the form of a unique design for the McLaren Artura hybrid supercar.

A contemporary self-taught abstract artist, Berlin-based Parker is rapidly gaining a growing following and has recently exhibited his work at the IncubARTor exhibition in Hamburg.

The Artura represents a fusion of art and future technology as McLaren’s first series production, high-performance hybrid supercar. The Artura name is a combination of ‘art’ and ‘future’, reflecting the seamless integration of cutting-edge technology and stunning design.

With instant torque from its electric motor and a powerful V6 engine, the Artura delivers an exhilarating driving experience. The car’s sleek, aerodynamic silhouette is inspired by modern art, making it the perfect canvas for the signature collaboration between McLaren and Cevin Parker.

“We are delighted to reveal this exclusive collaboration with Cevin Parker. Parker’s extraordinary talent and deep understanding of art have allowed him to create a truly remarkable design that perfectly captures the spirit of the Artura. His use of colour – particularly the vibrant combination of purple and yellow – symbolises creativity, individuality, energy and optimism, all of which resonate with the Artura’s dynamic personality.”
Bastian Luehmann, Market Director Central Europe, McLaren Automotive

Parker’s abstract art beautifully complements McLaren’s bold and contemporary design language, while his innovative thinking and use of the latest technologies – including augmented reality – perfectly align with McLaren’s ethos. His art also captures the essence of emotion and fleeting moments, a theme that resonates in Parker’s personal life as a passionate car enthusiast. The Artura is the embodiment of these emotions, and its design reflects the quest to optimise both performance and beauty.

“I am truly thrilled on having the opportunity to work together with McLaren and to bring two of my biggest passions together: art and supercars. I am excited to see the public’s reaction to this project.”  
Cevin Parker, artist

To showcase the collaborative masterpiece, McLaren and Cevin Parker have captured images of the unique Artura in some of Parker’s most inspiring Berlin locations. The car will also be displayed at events throughout the year such as the Nit D’Arte in Palma des Mallorca and the ART Basel Miami.

South West homeowners face seven-day waits for urgent repairs as tradie shortages continue to bite Fix Radio analysis shows the South West is among the slowest regions for urgent fixes, while Plymouth records one of the longest city-level waits in the UK The South West records an average 7-day wait for an urgent tradie fix. Plymouth records one of the longest city-level waits in the dataset, at 10 days. Across the 17 cities surveyed, the average wait for an urgent fix is just over 6 days. CITB says the UK construction industry needs to recruit the equivalent of 239,300 extra workers between 2025 and 2029. Analysis from Fix Radio shows that homeowners in the South West are facing an average seven-day wait for an urgent tradesperson fix, placing the region among the slower parts of the UK for repair response times. Based on Fix Radio’s analysis of city-level urgent repair wait-time data from Markel Direct’s Censuswide survey of UK homeowners, the findings point to continued pressure on trades capacity, local demand and labour availability across the region. The national picture remains highly uneven. The East of England records the shortest average wait at three days, followed by the North East on four days, the North West on 4.5 days and London on five. Wales and the South East each average six days, Yorkshire and the Humber sits at 6.5, while the South West, West Midlands, Scotland and Northern Ireland all come in at seven days. At the other end of the scale, the East Midlands records the longest average delay at nine days, leaving a six-day gap between the fastest and slowest regional averages in the dataset. The research also found that 44% of homeowners have already delayed repairs because of the cost of hiring a tradesperson, while city-level data shows waits stretching as high as 10 days in Plymouth for urgent issues. That makes the South West one of the clearest examples of how regional pressure can build when local demand, household repair needs and labour constraints begin to overlap. Set against a construction workforce already under strain, the figures point to a region where availability remains a growing issue for both customers and tradespeople. CITB forecasts that the industry will need to recruit the equivalent of 239,300 extra workers between 2025 and 2029, with the UK construction workforce expected to reach around 2.75 million by 2029. From Fix Radio’s perspective, the findings reflect a wider story around availability, local demand and the challenge of keeping enough skilled people in the pipeline. Waiting times are not only a sign of homeowner frustration. They also show where order books are full, where capacity is tight and where the wider conversation around skills and recruitment is becoming harder to ignore. In the South West, where regional averages are already above the national benchmark and Plymouth stands out as one of the slowest locations in the dataset, that pressure is becoming increasingly visible.
