Yianni, a visionary in the automotive world, made headlines as the pioneer who imported the futuristic Tesla Cybertruck into the UK.
From UK Pavements to Dubai Skies
Yianni’s historic venture with the Cybertruck in the UK was not without its challenges.

Each car embodies Yianni’s penchant for high-performance and unique style, drawing enthusiasts worldwide.
Sealing Deals, Rolling Winds

The iconic Yiannimize brand now joins the Netherlands’ Absolute Motors under the Urban Automotive umbrella. Meanwhile, Yianni embraces his new life as an Emirates citizen, eager to explore global automotive advancements from his Dubai base. The vibrant city promises Yianni innovative possibilities, including the futuristic concept of flying cars projected for arrival by 2027.
From Dubai, Yianni plans to connect with the globe, finding inspiration while acquiring a luxurious villa along the exclusive Billionaires’ Row. Aiming for prime real estate costing approximately $19 million, he remains resolute in expanding his endeavors across the tranquil blue skies of the UAE.

His journey is a testament to adaptation and the relentless pursuit of new avenues in the ever-evolving automotive world. Without a doubt, the next chapter for Yianni—and his redefined legacy—will inspire automotive sectors globally, consolidating his position as a trailblazer.
