Aston Martin has officially introduced the Dreadnought, a digital-only military specification vehicle designed exclusively for the new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4.
Created with the help of the game’s developers, Infinity Ward and Activision, this exciting creation mixes Aston Martin’s luxury and performance with the world of Call of Duty. It offers an immersive experience meant to excel in tough digital environments.
The Aston Martin Design team had the freedom to imagine without physical limits, turning an SUV’s capabilities into a thrilling virtual world for new Aston Martin fans. Based on the rules of the Modern Warfare universe, this innovative all-wheel drive SUV not only showcases bold visuals but also provides an engaging player experience, complete with the powerful sound of a V12 Aston Martin engine.
Dreadnought features supercar-level performance, advanced armor technology, and smart combat systems, all in a striking design that focuses on top performance. Every detail, from its sleek aerodynamics to high-tech command systems, reflects elite tactical needs. Luxurious elements like carbon fiber, an Oxford Tan leather dashboard, and a gold gear lever contrast with military-style armor, adding a unique touch.
The name Dreadnought brings to mind powerful military strength. Besides its meaning of “fear nothing,” it also references the famous British warship, HMS Dreadnought, known for its groundbreaking weapons and design in the early 1900s. Therefore, special features like extra fuel tanks and custom weapon storage are fitting for the Aston Martin Dreadnought.
Commenting on the debut of Dreadnought in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, Aston Martin Chief Creative Officer, Marek Reichman, said: “The team have hugely enjoyed the not inconsiderable challenge of redefining what an Aston Martin can be when the only limit is imagination.
“To create the ultimate exotic off-road machine, I had to imagine Dreadnought not only as a digital asset, but as a vehicle living in the real world—navigating the streets of New York, powering through the monsoon-soaked roads of Mumbai, and performing with complete authenticity in every environment. That vision allowed us to create something that feels genuinely real, even within the immersive world of the game.
“To me, Dreadnought is unmistakably an Aston Martin – amplified without restraint. The quality of the details we have been able to include, right down to the iconic Chiltern Green paint colour so synonymous with this marque, underscores our dedication to delivering a truly authentic Aston Martin experience. Features as diverse as the carbon fibre chassis right through to exquisite elements such as the door hinges in anodised Satin Gold, reflect our real-world determination to be the most desirable ultra-luxury brand in the automotive sector, and beyond.”
At launch, players can find the Dreadnought in important locations in both DMZ and Call of Duty: Warzone modes. An Aston Martin is usually found among luxury properties and landscapes; the Dreadnought just has a more adventurous route.
Jack O’Hara, Co-Studio Head, Infinity Ward, lead development studio of the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare series, said: “Collaborating with Aston Martin’s design team has been an incredible journey, we’ve brought the vision of Dreadnought to life from the ground up. Every element, from early concepting through to animation, geometry, and in game physics and propulsion, was carefully engineered to deliver a high performance armored vehicle that stays true to Aston Martin’s distinctive design philosophy and an armored exterior, a large gas tank and the most aggressive all-wheel drive in Modern Warfare 4.
“As long-time admirers of the brand, we share a commitment to passion, precision, and an uncompromising pursuit of excellence pushing every detail and every system to its limit to create something truly exceptional for our players.”
Stefano Saporetti, Director of Brand Diversification, Aston Martin said: “Our brand diversification strategy is built on exploring new dimensions of luxury, and expanding Aston Martin’s footprint into the gaming world allows us to engage with a new generation on their own terms. The Dreadnought isn’t just a digital vehicle; it’s a strategic gateway for a younger, global audience to experience our ultra-luxury DNA. By pushing the boundaries of virtual engineering, we are ensuring that the spirit of Aston Martin resonates powerfully with the luxury consumers of tomorrow.
Dreadnought is being showcased for the first time at Fanatics Fest in New York. Attendees can see a full-size model of Aston Martin’s virtual SUV at the Call of Duty stand.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, published by Activision, will be released worldwide for XBOX Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC on Battle.net, XBOX on PC, Steam, and Nintendo SwitchTM 2 on Friday, October 23, 2026.
