It’s no coincidence that this Cadillac World Thorium Fuel concept automobile is also known as the Cadillac WTF: Inside and out, the car has been designed to run for 100 years without maintenance. This innovative automotive wonder is the brainchild of Loren Kulesus, who’s designed a Cadillac that uses thorium as a nuclear fuel to power the batteries that run the car.

As Autoblog reports, the other major systems of the Cadillac World Thorium Fuel are redundant should a failure occur. And take a look at the tires—each corner contains six individual wheels, each with its own induction motor.

This has to be a hoax, right? At least the WTF attached to the name? @Jacob: Did your new friend Mr. Wagoner seem like a jokester?

Well, it's a concept car designed with Cadillac in mind by a third-party auto designer. That opens the door pretty wide to interpretation--and hoaxes.
