The 'scoops' are rear facing for heat extraction, not air inlet. The air flowing over the hood creates a low pressure area at the openings plus the air in the engine bay has a slight amount of pressurization due to the air coming in the grill. This draws hot underhood air out. Just look at the late model Shelby GT500 for a similar design - and it works very well.
