DUBAI, UAE – Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. (NASDAQ: FFAI) has achieved a significant milestone in its global expansion strategy with the ceremonial delivery of its inaugural FX Super One vehicle to international football icon Andrés Iniesta. The event, held in Dubai, represents the concrete implementation of the company’s Global Automotive Bridge Strategy throughout the Middle Eastern region.
The delivery ceremony featured prominent executives including FF Global co-CEO Matthias Aydt, Middle East regional head Tin Mok, and government affairs lead Morris Gao. Iniesta, who assumes the dual role of first global owner and developer co-creation officer for the FX Super One, expressed his enthusiasm for joining the electric vehicle revolution.
“This honor extends beyond acquiring a premium EAI-MPV,” Iniesta remarked. “It represents an early entry into the transformative era of AI-powered mobility. I anticipate the FX Super One establishing new benchmarks in the Middle East’s multi-purpose vehicle segment while advancing eco-friendly transportation solutions.”
Company executives emphasized the strategic importance of this delivery event. Tin Mok noted that the occasion “signifies the commencement of FX Super One distributions within the UAE market and establishes critical groundwork for forthcoming sales initiatives.” Simultaneously, Faraday Future continues preparatory work for its first US pre-production vehicle scheduled for completion before year-end.
The FX Super One, officially unveiled in Dubai on October 28th, offers two distinct powertrain configurations: the initial AIHER (Artificial Intelligence Hydrogen Energy Response) model followed by a battery-electric AIEV variant. Each configuration provides four trim levels—GOAT, Max, Pro, and Standard—catering to diverse consumer preferences. The Middle East’s introductory model, the FX Super One AIHER Max, carries an price point of AED 309,000 (approximately $84,000). Market response has been notably positive, with three non-binding preorders covering over 200 units received within 48 hours of the product launch.
Matthias Aydt, FF Global co-CEO, characterized the Middle East delivery milestone as “pivotal within FF and FX’s worldwide strategic framework.” He elaborated that this achievement “denotes our formal transition in the UAE from operational development to revenue generation, demonstrates initial synchronization with our Global Automotive Bridge Strategy, and inaugurates a new chapter in our Middle East Three-Pole approach.”
Established in 2014, Faraday Future has pursued a mission to revolutionize automotive conventions through user-focused, technology-driven intelligent mobility solutions. While the company’s flagship FF91 model exemplifies premium innovation and performance, the FX strategy focuses on delivering mass-production vehicles equipped with advanced luxury technology at accessible price points for broader market penetration.
