Aston Martin Dreadnought: Built to deliver digital domination in Call of Duty – Modern Warfare 4


Created in collaboration with the game’s developers and publishers, Infinity Ward and Activision®, this uncompromising and deliberately extreme creation combines Aston Martin’s high-performance, luxury DNA with the virtual landscape of Call of Duty® to deliver an immersive experience designed to dominate the most challenging and unforgiving digital environments yet rendered.

Conceived by the Aston Martin Design team, who enjoyed the freedom of working without the restraints of the physical world, they have translated the capabilities of a performance SUV into an immersive virtual world for the next generation of Aston Martin fans. Grounded in the physics of the Modern Warfare® universe, this unapologetic, uncompromising tactical all-wheel drive SUV delivers not simply a stunning exploration of extreme visual language, but also an engaging and dynamic player experience that includes the roar of a full-blooded V12 powered Aston Martin.

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 combines supercar levels of performance, advanced armour technologies and adaptive combat zone intelligence systems into a single, striking form, where every element has been imagined for elite tactical performance: from its optimised aerodynamics to its fully integrated digital command interfaces. Exquisite design details emphasise Dreadnought’s high luxury heritage: from the herringbone weave of the exterior carbon fibre to the Oxford Tan leather dashboard and door panel details, and the metallic gold gear lever. These are uniquely contrasted in this digital creation with features rarely found in an Aston Martin such as military grade armour-plating.

The Dreadnought name naturally conjures up images of military might, too, as aside from its obvious dictionary definition “fear nothing”, it also recalls the famous early 20th Century British warship, HMS Dreadnought, which was so revolutionary in terms of her armament and propulsion that she coined an entirely new class of warship, defining global naval military ambition in the early 1900s. So, including unique options like reserve fuel tanks and bespoke weapons storage seemed completely appropriate 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 locate the Dreadnought in key points of interest within both DMZ and Call of Duty: Warzone modes. An Aston Martin’s natural habitat is amongst luxury properties and landscapes; Dreadnought simply has a slightly more adventurous commute.


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.”

Dreadnought makes its global debut at Fanatics Fest in New York where attendees will have an exclusive opportunity to see a full-size model of Aston Martin’s virtual SUV on the Call of Duty® stand.

Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® 4, published by Activision, will be available globally on XBOX Series X|S, PlayStation 5® and PC via Battle.net, XBOX on PC, Steam, and Nintendo SwitchTM 2 on Friday, October 23, 2026.
