Yes. The Renault Alpine GTA, GTA V6 Turbo and A610 all have solid 
decklids and glass screens where our louvers are. They have a quite 
intricate blower system that keeps the engine cool(er). I had one Alpine 
expert look at a DeLorean engine bay and say "now that's how Renualt 
should have done it!". They have lots of problems keeping things cool 
when they go for higher performance - we have an open engine cover and 
louvered lid, and open at the base. We have it good. Fans? Bit pointless
