Aston Martin Reveals Dreadnought, a Digital Armored SUV for Call of Duty

The virtual, non‑production vehicle is intended to introduce Aston Martin to younger gamers through Modern Warfare 4's DMZ and Warzone.

Overview

  • Aston Martin announced the Dreadnought on Thursday as a digital‑only, armored all‑wheel‑drive SUV created exclusively for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4.
  • Designers built the Dreadnought without real‑world engineering limits while keeping signature brand cues such as Chiltern Green paint, Oxford Tan leather, carbon‑fiber detailing and a V12 soundtrack.
  • Infinity Ward and Activision worked with Aston Martin to tune the vehicle’s geometry, animation, handling, physics and propulsion so it behaves authentically in DMZ and Warzone gameplay.
  • Aston Martin says the Dreadnought will not enter production but a full‑size model will be displayed at Fanatics Fest in New York ahead of the game’s October launch.
  • The project follows a wider industry trend of luxury automakers using game engines as concept studios and serves as a brand diversification effort to reach future luxury customers.
