Not all of those cars have side radiators, some have standard front mounted radiators. I was just looking at the rads in the Ford GT, Lotus Elise, and a Noble M12 this weekend, all have standard front air inlets, but vent out of hood, I think the Lambo and the Renault Clio V6 mid. have a front mounted radiator as well. The side scoops are usually for engine or intercooler cooling, not radiator. It can be done, but with the shape of a bug or a bus, it's not as easy as with a car designed to slice through the air like butter.
