Aston Martin Dreadnought Concept
Aston Martin unveiled Dreadnought, a digital-only military specification vehicle designed exclusively for the new 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.
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.
