Company to merge with Forseven, a British startup backed by CYVN Holdings
McLaren is about to undergo a major corporate overhaul. In the next six months, the British supercar manufacturer will be restructured under a new holding company. It will merge with Forseven, a British startup backed by CYVN Holdings.
The company, headquartered in Abu Dhabi, agreed to acquire McLaren in October of this year. In addition to building sports cars, the new holding company, McLaren Group Holdings, will expand into “new product categories,” according to an announcement released on Thursday, April 3.
Details about the expansion of McLaren’s portfolio will be revealed later this year. CYVN says its strategy involves “high-performance and luxury sectors, setting a new standard of excellence and transforming McLaren into a high-performance British automotive company on the global stage.”
In the future, McLaren Group Holdings will be led by Forseven CEO Nick Collins. In an interview with Autocar, he confirmed that the luxury brand will launch numerous new vehicles on the market, at higher prices — meaning the public will likely see a McLaren SUV or sedan soon.
Over the past two years, rumors have circulated that the company was preparing a high-riding rival to the Aston Martin DBX707 and the Lamborghini Urus, which may materialize with this new merger. Previous reports suggest McLaren will launch an SUV in 2028.
“We have a clear strategy to achieve our vision, and we will move at an incredible pace to get there,” Collins said in a statement.
“We need to optimize operations, deliver efficiencies, and reshape the new integrated organization so we can grow our vehicle portfolio, enhance the customer experience, and continue strengthening our global relationships with suppliers and dealers,” he added.
