CYVN consolidates U.K. portfolio with McLaren acquisition

CYVN Holdings L.L.C, an advanced mobility investment vehicle owned by the Government of Abu Dhabi, has announced its successful acquisition of McLaren Automotive and a non-controlling stake in McLaren Racing.

The new McLaren Group Holdings Ltd will oversee the combined business of McLaren Automotive and CYVN's anchor investment in the U.K., Forseven. The new Group will also include CYVN's shareholding in McLaren Racing and the newly formed McLaren Licensing business.

McLaren Automotive will benefit from CYVN's strategic investment in Chinese EV brand Nio to deliver access to visionary technologies and electrification, in addition to three years of stealth mode development from the team at Forseven. This development process has leveraged Gordon Murray Technologies, following its strategic acquisition by CYVN Holdings in 2023, to accelerate CYVN's engineering and lightweighting expertise.

As a clear demonstration of the Group's intent to move at pace, McLaren Automotive's portfolio will be expanded into new product categories, details of which will be announced later in 2025.
