Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. (Nasdaq:FFAI) has taken a major step in its Middle East expansion by delivering its first FX Super One vehicle to global soccer star Andrés Iniesta during a ceremony in Dubai. The event marks the company’s formal transition from an operational setup to an active revenue-generating phase in the UAE. 

The ceremony was attended by key executives, including FF Global Co-CEO Matthias Aydt, FF Middle East Head Tin Mok, and Morris Gao, Head of UES and Government Affairs for the region. Iniesta becomes not only the first global owner of the FX Super One but also the company’s Developer Co-Creation Officer. In this role, he will collaborate on mobility initiatives intended to accelerate the adoption of next-generation electric andAI-integrated MPVs across the Middle East. 

Iniesta described the delivery as an important milestone, saying he looks forward to contributing to the region’s transition into an era of AI-driven mobility. 

Product Details and Early Market Traction 

The FX Super One was officially introduced in Dubai on October 28 and is planned to be offered in two powertrain configurations: the AIHER and the later-stage AIEV. Each powertrain option will be available in four editions—GOAT, Max, Pro, and Standard—designed to appeal to different customer segments. 

The first model entering the Middle East, the FX Super One AIHER Max, carries a price of AED 309,000 (approximately USD 84,000). The launch generated immediate interest, with Faraday Future receiving three non-binding, non-refundable paid preorders covering more than 200 units within just 48 hours. This early traction demonstrates the region’s appetite for advanced electric MPV solutions and positions the FX Super One as a potential category-defining model. 

FF and FX plan to deepen their co-creation efforts with Iniesta, focusing on brand engagement, user experience input, and community-building initiatives across the UAE. 

Strategic Importance of Middle East Expansion 

According to Co-CEO Matthias Aydt, the commencement of deliveries signals meaningful progress in FF’s Global Automotive Bridge Strategy for the Middle East. The initiative is part of the company’s broader “Three-Pole” regional expansion plan, aimed at transforming the UAE into a key market for both sales and mobility innovation. 

Tin Mok added that the delivery sets the stage for the next phase of sales activities while the company simultaneously continues preparations for its first U.S. pre-production vehicle, expected to roll off the line by year-end. 

This strategic combination of Middle East market entry and U.S. production planning underscores the company’s efforts to scale its technology and product pipeline globally. 

Conclusion 

Faraday Future’s first delivery of the FX Super One to Andrés Iniesta marks a meaningful milestone in its Middle East growth journey and opens the door to broader commercial activity across the region. As the company moves into its revenue phase in the UAE and advances toward U.S. production goals, it positions itself for an active period of market engagement, customer expansion, and AI-driven mobility innovation.
