    The nuclear car is a forgotten dream of futurologists of those times when the nuclear power industry was actively developing. The Nuclide is a car with neither an internal combustion engine nor an electric motor under the hood, but a nuclear reactor that generates high-pressure steam through a heat exchanger, and high-pressure steam drives the four front wheels through a steam turbine. It would seem that the four front steerable driving wheels will provide good handling, but a car with a nuclear power plant turned out to be heavier than a car with an internal combustion engine, and even shifting the center of mass far forward can greatly affect maneuverability not for the better. In short, this is a very dangerous projectile.

    Useless details:
    The design is based on the Ford Seattle-Ite XXI concept car.
    An additional wheel axle is implemented through a crutch in the form of a double model of the front wheels. Thanks to Paperman for the tips. Now I no longer have the desire to make cars with more than four wheels.
    The bots will not be able to control this car, and I did not manage to configure the control for the bots, so I forbade the bots to use this car.

  1. I enjoy how the car has its own detailed background. It sorta reminds me of one of Citywalker’s experiments.
