Cadillac WTF: Zero maintenance with 24 wheels |
Here’s one hell of a conceptual design: the Cadillac World Thorium Fuel concept. Otherwise known as the Cadillac WTF. It was created by Loren Kulesus. Everything about the aptly named WTF has been created to last for 100 years without maintenance. That’s the reason for the element number ninety, thorium: to act as a nuclear fuel powering batteries that would power this beast.
Also, every major system is redundant just in case of a failure. Even the wheels are covered and shouldn’t give you much trouble. The wheels don’t have individual tires. In fact, what you get is one combined unit made up of six individual wheels. That gives you 24 wheels in all, and each wheel has its own induction motor just for good measure. According to the creator, “The vehicle would require the tires to be adjusted every five years, but no material would need to be added or subtracted.”
Damn. The future is awesome as ever. Too bad car manufacturers would never go for it.

“Nuclear powered batteries? WTF are they going to do about disposal??”
thats 100 years from now, who cares
I saw this coming when I saw the movie “The golden compass”. Some of the vehicles were being powered by what seemed to be,nuclear power.
nuclear powered? what if you get into an accident?
Cadillac World Thorium Fuel concept car - While GM pissed away dubious engineering talent on this stuff, Toyota built the Prius, Honda has an Eco-diesel equal or better than VW, who made their’s a bio-turbo diesel/electric, and Hyundai stole the market with good guarantees, and better products! GM may file for bankruptcy this week? and Chrysler’s not far behind? What happened to the American boys? Too much football and pretty girls, not enough book time? Lead in the water? Just too damn dumb? Games over! Asians one, Yankees nothing, not even jobs! Life’s funny that way, you play for real, every time!
“The vehicle would require the tires to be adjusted every five years, but no material would need to be added or subtracted.”
complete BS. wake up and smell the reality.
I think the Ford LOL, Nissan OMG, and the Mercedes-Benz FTW will steal its thunder.
