McLaren will this summer begin publicly previewing its post-merger product plan, which includes multiple combustion-powered models scheduled for launch by 2030.
The move follows McLaren’s acquisition by CYVN Holdings and merger with startup Forseven. Forseven CEO Nick Collins now heads the combined operation, and CYVN has invested about £1.5 billion in McLaren.
Nick Collins told Autocar the rollout was delayed for strategic reasons but that McLaren will "start to unpack" its plan from this summer, likely alongside deliveries of the W1 hypercar. Autocar sources say full-sized models of the new cars have already been shown to dealers.
Collins said McLaren will launch an electric car only "when our customers want one" and that the market "doesn't want one yet," adding the 2030 plan currently features combustion powertrains while retaining flexibility to adapt.
