Well, if you look at this picture, you can see where these additional vents would end up. I'm not sure they would have anything to do with removing any additional heat from the engine compartment!!!

They would end up right on top of the fresh air intake for the passenger compartment!

That is unless those pictures palbay took of the original prototype cars actaually had some other duct configuration under the hood!
