http://www.autoblog.com/2009/01/13/n...-fuel-concept/

Here's another one from the world of unlimited conceptual design: the Cadillac World Thorium Fuel concept. Otherwise known as the Cadillac WTF. Created by Loren Kulesus, everything about the WTF has been created to last 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 the car.

Elsewhere, every major system is redundant in case of a failure. And the wheels don't have individual tires - in fact, what's located at each corner is one combined unit made up of six individual wheels. That gives you 24 wheels in total, and each wheel has its own induction motor. Said Kulesus, "The vehicle would require the tires to be adjusted every five years, but no material would need to be added or subtracted." Here's to the future. While you wait for it, have a look at the Cadillac WTC in the gallery of high-res photos below.

Now I kind of like that, not sure about the "rear wheel wells", but it's kind of neat looking...

I think it's cool looking, but even if you don't, you have to realize concept cars like that are where the largest advances in vehicle technology come from.

You can't revolutionize a car by building it over and over again, making minor changes. You need a clean slate.

No comments on "WTF" being the model name?

I saw that. They accidentally went back to WTC at the end of the article though.
