That's one of the reason the engine bay gets so dirty on a car that is driven. It's literally vacuuming up the dirt and debris from the road.

The car was done by some group - maybe for TV - or auction - or something - that had a scoop going over the cockpit and into the engine bay. I think it had a high performance V-6 - BUT - my point (or question) is: does air go IN or OUT of the screen behind the cockpit. I think I remember someone here commenting on how stupid it is ducting air into the area when it was designed to “release” air up from the motor.
