Dongfeng has a 12.2% equity stake in the French carmaker, and would have about half of that in the combined entity formed by FCA and PSA, which announced in October a tie-up to create the world's fourth-biggest automaker.

The sports car maker wants to boost income before it gets listed on the stock market. McLaren is eyeing an expansion in Asia as sales fall in the U.K., the company's biggest market. The carmaker is suffering at home due to Brexit uncertainty, but U.S. and Asian sales outside of China remain strong right now. Nevertheless, it is keen to improve its position in the East as it looks towards a future public offering."We need to put more cars into Asia," McLaren CEO Mike Flewitt told reporters earlier this week. The company is already planning to open new dealer locations in Vietnam and the Philippines, as well as India and Russia. The aforementioned planned public offering could be a risky move for McLaren.
