The airflow over the car is designed with no air being introduced in the hood area or it's interfaces. Side exit vents perhaps would be better would be better, but I feel this a pretty minor issue, as the positioning of the saab turbo in front of the engine and the relatively open nature of the engine bay keeps underhood temps low compared to most other turbocharged vehicles. Proper application of heat retaining and heat reflecting materials and coatings would produce more pronounced results with less side effects.
