Los Angeles, CA (Sept. 8, 2023) -- Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. (NASDAQ: FFIE) (“Faraday Future”, “FF” or “Company”), a California-based global shared intelligent electric mobility ecosystem company, today announced that on September 7th, the FF 91 2.0 Futurist Alliance broke the fastest lap record in the SUV and Crossover categories as an All Ability aiHypercar at the Buttonwillow Raceway, located in Buttonwillow, CA. The FF 91 2.0 Futurist Alliance completed a single lap test (on Circuit #13) in 1 minute 57.55 seconds, which is more than a second faster than the previous fastest SUV record . After a new record was recorded on June 6th at the “FF Developer Co-creation Track Day” at Willow Springs Speedway, FF improved the product power of the FF 91 2.0 Futurist Alliance with FF Developer Co-Creation Officers resulting in the record set yesterday on the Buttonwillow racetrack.

“This newest track record at Buttonwillow reinforces FF’s determination to conquer some of the world’s most famous
racetracks,” said YT Jia, Founder and Chief Product and User Ecosystem Officer of FF. “We have officially kicked-off the
FF All-Hyper Global Racetrack Conqueror Plan. The Company believes that the racing elites the Company hopes to recruit will help FF promote
the iterations and upgrades of the “FF aiHyper 6X4 Architecture 2.0” and “All-Ability aiHyperCar” and contribute
to the continuous advancements of all of the performance capabilities of the FF 91.”
The Company recently launched the FF All-Hyper Global Racetrack Conqueror Plan during the “Developer Co-Creation Festival” at Pebble Beach last month. The FF All Hyper Global Racetrack Conqueror Plan is a race tailored for the production version of “All-Ability aiHypercars”. The Company has invited Le Mans champion Justin Bell and five-time Le Mans 24 hours race champion Derek Bell to become FF Developer Co-Creation Officers and lend their expertise to help the Company with this plan. The Company intends to continue to invite additional racing elites to join this initiative.
The Company is currently planning a number of FF 91 Futurist Alliance “Delivery Co-Creation Day” events for its newest users. This delivery program entails hosting a series of customized delivery events for each of these FF Developer Co-Creation Officers.
As previously announced, one of the Company’s first Developer Co-Creation officers, Jason Oppenheim, will receive his FF 91 2.0 Futurist Alliance and engage in a discussion next week about the trends found in luxury homes, and top-tier electric vehicles. He will also highlight the “Magic All-In-One” and other FF 91 2.0 Futurist Alliance key features.
The Company plans to hold other customized Delivery Co-Creation events for FF 91 2.0 Futurist Alliance owners throughout the remainder of this year. In addition, as previously announced, the Company will hold a “FF Developers Co-Creation AI Festival” on September 19th.
This series of “Delivery Co-Creation Day” events marks the Company’s formal entry into the regular operation phase for sales, delivery, service, and user operations. Importantly, the Company is now positioned to pursue additional funding opportunities to enable the ramp of its production capacity to support the delivery of more vehicles.
