Mercedes-Maybach is partnering with Space Perspective, the world’s first and only carbon-neutral spaceflight experience company. Founded in 2019 by human spaceflight veterans Jane Poynter and Taber MacCallum, Space Perspective has completely reimagined space travel, aiming to make human spaceflight safer and more accessible than ever before with its innovative Spaceship Neptune. The spacecraft features a pressurized capsule propelled slowly and safely to 100,000 feet by a giant SpaceBalloon™ and with its carbon-neutral approach, it is designed to be as gentle on Space Perspective’s Explorers as it is on the Earth. The capsule’s customizable interior cabin accommodates eight Explorers and a Captain and includes a world-class travel experience complete with meal and cocktail service. Together, the partners are exploring more ways to bring the magic of the Mercedes-Maybach brand to the transformative experience that Space Perspective offers its Explorers.
In line with the sustainable mindset of Space Perspective, Mercedes-Maybach will provide all-electric vehicles to shuttle Explorers and guests to and from Space Perspective facilities, local activities and the launch site on Florida’s Space Coast. Thanks to this partnership, Space Perspective customers will be able to ride comfortably and sustainably to and from their trips to the edge of space.
Mercedes-Maybach global brand campaign features Space Perspective’s Spaceship Neptune
Space Perspective’s innovative spacecraft makes a cameo in the new Mercedes-Maybach global brand film and appears in select campaign assets – an expression of how the driving experience transports passengers to the beyond, which is much like Space Perspective’s mission to offer its Explorers transformative perspective shifts through spaceflight.

Jane Poynter, Founder and Co-CEO of Space Perspective
“This partnership accelerates innovation and broadens market exposure for both companies’ respective positions of strength in electric automotive and space travel.”

For more than 20 years, the Cayenne has been characterised by its ability to provide the broad range of qualities between characteristic Porsche driving performance, excellent comfort in everyday driving, and great capability when driving off-road. The future models of the SUV will seamlessly continue this success story, retaining all of the car’s familiar features.
“The Cayenne has always defined the sports car in its segment. In the middle of the decade, the fourth generation will set standards in the segment as an electric SUV,” said Blume, CEO of Porsche AG. At the same time, into the next decade our customers will still be able to choose from a wide range of powerful and efficient combustion and hybrid models.
"The third generation of the Cayenne will be further upgraded and will continue to be offered alongside the fourth, all-electric generation".
The current Cayenne generation, which last year was given one of the most extensive product upgrades in the history of Porsche, will be further developed with major technological investment in the future. Here the developers will be focusing, among other things, on the powertrains, in particular on improving the efficiency of the V8 developed by Porsche and built at the Zuffenhausen engine plant. Extensive technical measures will ensure that the twin-turbo engine is ready to comply with future legislative requirements.
In a bold move against the prevailing headwinds in the electric vehicle (EV) industry, VinFast, the young Vietnamese EV manufacturer, is forging ahead with its ambitious global expansion plans. While major players like Apple have recently abandoned their decade-long pursuit of an electric vehicle, and others are scaling back their ambitions, VinFast remains undeterred. Having already established a presence in the U.S., Canada, and Southeast Asia, the company is now setting its sights on the Middle Eastern market.
Hyundai is set to debut its three-row electric SUV later this year, a move that signifies the automaker's bold step into the large electric vehicle (EV) market. This new SUV, anticipated to be named the Ioniq 9, is poised to be Hyundai’s equivalent to the Kia EV9, offering a spacious and eco-friendly alternative to its popular Palisade.
