What is the Aston Martin Dreadnought
Aston Martin has unveiled Dreadnought, a digital-only military-specification vehicle created exclusively for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4. Developed in collaboration with Infinity Ward and Activision, the tactical SUV will be available to players in selected game modes when the title launches on October 23. 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. ” Get the latest technology news and updates.
The vehicle combines elements of Aston Martin’s design language with features intended for military-style gameplay, according to the company. The name “Dreadnought” references both the phrase “fear nothing” and the British battleship “HMS Dreadnought” , which introduced a new class of warship in the early 20th century. Commenting on the project, 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.
Players will be able to locate the Dreadnought at key points of interest in DMZ and Call of Duty: Warzone modes, where it can be used during gameplay. The Dreadnought is a virtual all-wheel-drive SUV designed by Aston Martin’s design team specifically for the Call of Duty universe. The digital SUV includes simulated military-grade armour, adaptive combat-zone intelligence systems, integrated digital command interfaces, reserve fuel tanks and bespoke weapons storage. Aston Martin has also incorporated details such as Chiltern Green exterior paint, Oxford Tan leather trim, a metallic gold gear lever, carbon-fibre construction and a V12 engine sound. 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. Jack O’Hara, Co-Studio Head at Infinity Ward, added, “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.
