WTF? Cadillac World Thorium Fuel Concept?

This uncanny Cadillac is created by Lorus Kulesus and it is meant to last for a century. The name of the 90th element – thorium – in the title of the design proposal is no coincident.
Kulesus sees the element acting as a nuclear fuel so the batteries powering the car can rely on an almost infinite source of energy. The fact that World Thorium Concept adds up as WTF is at the same time humorous and exact: it is a little bit far-fetched, but a futuristic concept has to be.
The wheels of the WTF don’t have individual tires. Each wheel is made up of six thin wheels so in case of a failure in some of them the thorium-powered futurist can keep on moving.
All the 24 wheels in total have their own induction motor. Kulesus explained to Coroflot: “The vehicle would require the tires to be adjusted every five years, but no material would need to be added or subtracted.”
Let’s keep on waiting for more sophisticated intel on this faboulous Caddy.

wholy crap.
If we ever see such cars GM is already bankrupt…
Exactly WTF!
why make such concepts if they are not realistic at all?
Why nut just suggest building them with Mr. Fusion? Silly.
Wow dude that is one cool looking ride!

Too bad the Toyota OMG and Honda LOL are going to drastically hurt the Cadillac’s sales.

What about the Subaru ROFLMAO?
ITS EASY TO SHOW PICTURES, BUT WHAT AMERICA NEEDS NOW ARE THESE FUTURE DESIGNED CARS FOR SALE WITH NEW FUEL SYSTEMS SO AMERICANS DONT HAVE TO DEPEND ON OPEC. GLOBAL COMMAND.
Where does the Flux Capacitor go?
Six tires & wheels of completely different diameter, requiring a severely complex offset shaft to even SPIN? Give me a break.
Pure nonsense developed exclusively by the one department that is nothing BUT nonsense - the styling department.
Phhhbbbbttt!
Looks like a Ford I saw once about oh, 30 years ago. Just with more BLING. That nuclear-powered car never made it to the road either.
Now that is what you call a concept car!
Congrats
Where does the Flux Capacitor go?
i would drive this car it looks fine and dandy to me reminds me of the bat mobile not the one from the new movie but the old one…not the old old one the one after that but before the new new one the one where it was still a car and not a tank
the flux capacitor goes in the back duh just like my deloreon . and don’t even joke about it ive seen the future.

This is just awsome
The car of tomorrow!
If one tire fails wont it drag down the rest? Also a nuclear powered car……..won’t that cause a nuclear explosion if it’s wrecked?
This is a pretty interesting [even if far-fetched] idea. Just imagine how much something like this could change the world. No gasoline, no diesel. One car for an entire lifetime.
Oh, and for people talking about how the nuclear reactor in the car causes a hazard, go on youtube. There’ve been tests where they send a rocket-powered train into one of those power waist containers to try to do damage to it. Certainly if the rocket-train does no damage, the car’ll be fine.
However, if I’m not mistaken, nuclear-powered machines usually require a hell of a lot of maintenance. It seems foolish to say that this thing would need nothing but a tire adjustment every 5 years…
Also, it looks SO beautiful. What a wonderful concept! Great job Lorus at refining the original idea presented with the Ford Nucleon in the 50s. I’m excited to see where this idea goes.
