Aston Martin has unveiled the Dreadnought, a military-spec SUV built exclusively for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4.
Designed with developer Infinity Ward and publisher Activision, Dreadnought is Aston’s most extreme creation yet – and the first time the brand’s design team has worked completely free of real-world constraints.
The result is a tactical all-wheel drive SUV wrapped in supercar performance, armour tech and “adaptive combat zone intelligence systems,” powered virtually by a V12.
Despite the military hardware – think armour-plating, reserve fuel tanks and bespoke weapons storage – Aston hasn’t skimped on the luxury details. There’s herringbone-weave carbon fibre, Oxford Tan leather trim, a metallic gold gear lever, door hinges in anodised Satin Gold and the marque’s signature Chiltern Green paint.
Aston Martin Chief Creative Officer Marek Reichman says the team “hugely enjoyed the not inconsiderable challenge of redefining what an Aston Martin can be when the only limit is imagination,” adding he wanted Dreadnought to feel real even inside a game world – “navigating the streets of New York, powering through the monsoon-soaked roads of Mumbai.”
Infinity Ward Co-Studio Head Jack O’Hara says every element was “carefully engineered to deliver a high-performance armored vehicle that stays true to Aston Martin’s distinctive design philosophy,” while Aston’s Director of Brand Diversification, Stefano Saporetti, frames the tie-up as a play for younger fans: “The Dreadnought isn’t just a digital vehicle; it’s a strategic gateway for a younger, global audience to experience our ultra-luxury DNA.”
Players can find Dreadnought roaming DMZ and Warzone modes when Modern Warfare 4 launches on Friday, October 23, 2026.
