The Cars Of Future

Always Ahead to Find The Way

Future flying cars have intrigued people for decades. Ever since Orville and Wilbur Wright took off on their historic flight from Kittyhawk, North Carolina, people were not thinking about huge jumbo jets, but rather future flying cars that could get them from point A to point B quickly, safely and aeronautically.
Future cars are here again, the sky above is blue again! Okay, so I'm a little excited about the future cars that will grace our highways and byways and even skyways one day. While some future cars may be just a part of science fiction, there are many that are real in concept or prototype and The future car is here, now! At least most of them are. It's amazing how many future cars exist today, from hydrogen to electric and biofuel vehicles to even flying cars. It is the intention of the site to cover all sorts of future cars, from those that exist today to the ones that are still on the drawing boards.
Of course, no one uses a drawing board today. That is so last year. Today, future cars are conceived on the computer in great detail. These future cars are actually concept vehicles, which have yet to be built. Once built, the future car is considered to be a prototype.
If a future car actually does move from concept to prototype, then the next step is for it to become a production vehicle. It is at this point that a future car is no longer considered to be so since it has arrived as a regular production model that anyone can buy. These are not the cars, however that will be featured on this site, unless, that is they happen to make it all the way from concept to production over the next several years.
on the leading edge of science.

Even though most future cars will not make it into the showrooms, they are valuable to many since they exhibit the possibilities for the future.Design, architecture and powertrain technology in future cars can be drastically different than anything seen on a typical car lot. And, this is the way, many fans of concept and prototype vehicles like it. For instance, there have been a few wild hydrogen car prototypes that are of interest to future car fans, but are too expensive an impractical for everyday drivers.

Like science fiction, future cars fulfill a void in today's society. This kind of automobile gives people the room to dream, invent and create. There are so few restrictions on the future that one can let one's mind run wild and dream big when it comes to what the cars of the future will look like.

Wheels, turbo, electric, hydrogen, nuclear, wings, cockpit, 360 rotation, crash avoidance, smart communications with traffic signals - some of the technology is here now while others is just budding.

This is why future cars are so popular and why we wish to present a site devoted to the dreamers, inventors and creative types who wish to entertain all the possibilities of what the future for the automotive industry may hold.
Upcoming Car Projects

• Hydrogen cars
• Nuclear cars
• Hybrid cars
• Solar cars
• Super cars

Nuclear Cars At the height of the atomic age, Ford believed that as nuclear reactors became smaller and more compact that one day soon all cars could run indefinitely on nuclear power. Of course now days, the Ford Fusion may be a nod to the Nucleon of old even though the Fusion is a gasoline-burning beast (or a gasoline electric hybrid).
In 2008, the Cadillac World Thorium Fuel concept (WTF) car was shown (and pictured top of page). The Cadillac WTF (which some may say was appropriately named) is the brainchild of designer Loren Kulesus.
Mr. Kulesus said the Cadillac WTF would run for 100 years on nuclear power without ever running out of fuel. The wheels at each corner of the vehicle are actually 6 smaller wheels put together each with its own induction motor. So, we can assume in this case that the nuclear reactor inside the vehicle will be used to create electricity to power the wheels.
The other alternative would be for a small nuclear reactor to create steam which would turn a turbine which could either serve as a motor or once again create electricity. Under this scenario, however, water would need to be used and replenished.
Future supercars are every motorhead's dream who have a need for speed and a lust for exciting design. The current supercars from Bugatti, Ferrari, Koenigsegg, Lamborghini, McLaren and Maserati are amazing vehicles, but won't hold a candle to those in the future..
Future solar cars will solve many of our transportation and environmental problems. Forget battery electric vehicles and hydrogen cars which will be transitional technology. Future solar cars will one day be mainstream.
As you can clearly see, the future car photos on this page don't lie. These cool future car images show the most intelligent, imaginative, futuristic look of what autos may look like 50 to 100 years from now. And, perhaps, just perhaps it won't even take this long before these vehicles hit the showrooms of tomorrow
One of the key questions left unanswered by both the Ford Nucleon and Cadillac WTF is how do you cool down the nuclear reactor inside the vehicle?
But, if you think this is all too far-fetched then consider nuclear submarines for a minute. Nuclear powered submarines today have small reactors onboard with fuel that lasts upwards of 25 years. The reactors are cooled by seawater.
The advantage of nuclear submarines over diesel submarines are quietness of operation and the fact that they can stay submerged much longer. In fact, nuclear submarine can stay down as long as supplies last for the personnel onboard.
Now here's another thing to think about for future nuclear cars. NASA right now is in the design stages of a cold fusion powered spaceship that will someday fly to Mars. Cold fusion powered future cars, airplanes, spacecraft, ships, trains and other transportation, would be the holy grail of nuclear powered vehicles.
Like a genii in a bottle, however, nuclear fusion would need to be controlled in such a way that safety would come first and foremost. Scientists right now however are conducting successful experiments with cold fusion using lasers and hydrogen that will one day revolutionize the electrical grid.
So, the idea of future nuclear cars is not such a radical concept as one may initially think. It may be 50 or 100 years until this type of vehicle comes to fruition (after hydrogen cars, battery electric cars and even solar cars have had their day in the sun).
If you're an environmentalist you'll rightly have deep concerns about the safety of having a nuclear powered car in your driveway. But, like anything else, if top safety methods can be assured, future nuclear cars may be something to keep an open mind towards.
