Aston Martin Dreadnought Revealed AS 835hp V12 Military SUV For Call of Duty

The Aston Martin Dreadnought has been revealed as a digital-only military-spec 4x4 SUV that will arrive with the launch of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 on October 23. A full-scale physical model is currently on display at the Fanatics Fest in New York until July 19.

The Dreadnought name for the Aston Martin virtual SUV draws inspiration from the 1900s British Royal Navy HMS Dreadnought battleship, which translates to "one who fears nothing."

Aston Martin Dreadnought Revealed: Engine and Performance

The 2-door Aston Martin Dreadnought SUV features a 5.2-litre twin-turbo V12 engine sourced directly from the Vanquish GT. This powertrain produces 835hp and 1,000Nm of torque. Straight-line acceleration is rapid with the 0-100km/h sprint coming up just in 3.3 seconds and a top speed capped at 345km/h.

Aston Martin Dreadnought Revealed: Dimensions and Specifications

The Aston Martin Dreadnought spans just under five metres in length and measures 2.1 metres wide. This gives the digital off-roader a slightly smaller overall footprint than the brand's production DBX SUV.

Aston Martin Dreadnought Revealed: Exterior Design and Armour

Finished in a Chiltern Green paint scheme, the Aston Martin Dreadnought Revealed incorporates "military-grade armour-plating" across its bodywork. Horizontally stacked LED headlights give the front end a distinct light signature. The grille utilises a pixel-shaped mesh pattern to integrate the LED fog lamps.

The Aston Martin Dreadnought Revealed sits on massive dual-tone alloy wheels wrapped in chunky off-road-specific tyres. Squared-off wheel arches provide heavy clearance. Aston Martin fitted flush-type door handles, camera-based outside rearview mirrors, and silver sidesteps to access the tall cabin.

The rear styling of the Aston Martin Dreadnought Revealed heavily mimics the Valour supercar. Aerodynamic fins sit on the rear windscreen above a black strip housing the brand's lettering. A quad-exhaust setup, silver tow hooks, and an aggressive skid plate complete the rear bumper design.

Aston Martin Dreadnought Revealed: Interior and In-Game Features

The cabin features a strict two-seat layout upholstered in green leather. A dual-tone green-and-black theme runs throughout the interior, contrasted by a golden gear lever and matching accents. The two-spoke steering wheel retains physical buttons.

Twin circular digital displays sit behind the steering column to show RPM and speed. A massive central touchscreen extends across the dashboard toward the passenger side. This display feeds off-road statistics and houses the specific 'weapons' and 'kill streak' menus for 'DMZ' and 'Warzone' game modes.

The centre console is trimmed in carbon fibre and houses multiple cupholders alongside physical switchgear. The doors feature lightweight fabric pull straps finished in a bright orange hue.

Aston Martin Dreadnought Revealed: Production Feasibility

Aston Martin Chief Creative Officer Marek Reichman confirmed the team designed the concept with real-world physical dimensions in mind. The Aston Martin Dreadnought could eventually become a road-legal commission if customer demand dictates it.

This mirrors the brand's past strategy, where the 2014 Gran Turismo 6 DP-100 concept influenced the Valkyrie. A similar production path led to the 2020 Victor emerging as a bespoke one-off supercar.
