Can't work.
The air that cools the engine is a huge part of the drag of your car.
Forcing that air through a turbine to generate power, thereby increasing the drag of the vehicle, means you'd draw more power from whatever engine is powering it.
The reality of energy loss with every conversion of energy means you're always at a loss with these schemes.
You can't create energy out of the blue - certainly not by creating additional drag.
