Nice ass car though.

I think it is more for looks than it is for function. For a intercooler to work correct the air has to go through the fins of the cooler. That hood does not direct air through the intercooler unless it were sliding sideways at a very high speed.
The intercoolers sitting on top of the motor and the hood are all for cosmetic. If they were going for all out function and performance they would never have placed the intercoolers on top of the motor like that. The engine generates major heat, heat rises and heatsoaks the intercooler. here is openings in front of the scoop but it would do no more than move the hot air around and does not force cooler air through the fins on the intercooler.
