We'll have to collaborate on the aero design of the front end...

Take the Peugot 208 picture, notice the wide mouth, the radiator, and the hood vents.



Let's talk more about the air escaping through the radiator. I had thought of angling the radiator opposite "V" angle to open up the front of the vehicle up for more flow. I see it as letting the air flow over the radiator versus jamming through it. That coupled with an "open" hood vent that is angled to have the air coming through the front work it's way through and over the center of the car. Take note of the Caterham "Lotus 7-2" and the Lotus Exige hood structure and venting.

That being said, I understand the purpose for the Pugeot's radiator being like that. 875 turbocharged HP isn't a recipe for easy cooling. That might be what I need to do to keep the engine cool. I also know I probably won't be working over the engine to 875 WHP. At max, I'm thinking 500 WHP.
