hood scoop

Bonnet air vent

A hood scoop is a raised opening on a car's hood that channels air into the engine compartment.

Functional scoops improve engine performance by forcing cool air into the intake system: The Mustang came with a functional hood scoop.

Many are purely decorative, adding an aggressive look without actually feeding air to anything.
