WTF: The World Thorium Fuel Vehicle

This beast of an automobile is the latest Cadillac concept, designed by Loren Kuleses that runs entirely on Thorium, a possible alternative nuclear fuel to Uranium.

With a very unfortunate (or clever) acronym the WTF quite frankly scares the shit out of me - the only car I've ever known to run on radioactive fuel was Martys DeLorean! As with 95% of designers concept cars, it's unlikely we'll see this in production any time soon, but the direction car design is heading is quite mind boggling.


Creating a concept these days isn't so much about designing an incredible looking motor, but more so re-engineering the whole logistics of how a car works... The Minority Report 'MAG-LEV' system may not be too far away! Well, ok, maybe it is... but you can let me dream.
