Aston Martin has invented a fantasy concept military SUV for Call of Duty, called the Dreadnought. The vehicle combines supercar levels of performance, advanced armor technologies, and adaptive combat zone intelligence systems into a single, striking form, with every element imagined for elite tactical performance. The Dreadnought is powered by a V12 engine, theoretically, and features a luxurious interior with a herringbone weave to its carbon fiber and Oxford Tan leather.
The exterior of the Dreadnought is only truly recognizable as an Aston Martin if you focus on the front end, with its similarities to a V8 Vantage from the 70s or 80s. The paint is a matte, desaturated twist on British Racing Green, and the decklid incorporates a pronounced duckbill spoiler. The end result is kind of like a Warthog from Halo with a roof and badging.

Aston Martin's Chief Creative Officer, Marek Reichman, said that he imagined the Dreadnought navigating the streets of New York and powering through the monsoon-soaked roads of Mumbai when dreaming up the SUV, adding that, Dreadnought is unmistakably an Aston Martin—amplified without restraint.
Back in 2012, when Call of Duty was a more relevant series, the game-makers collaborated with Jeep to sell a special-edition Wrangler. This collaboration didn't need any explaining. If Ineos got in bed with Activision and immortalized the Grenadier in COD, I'd get that too. This feels like a stretch, but then again, I don't get paid the big bucks to organize brand placement deals. Perhaps it's a hint toward a tougher, rowdier vibe for the next DBX?
