I think the bottom breather setup, simmar to the corvette, is about as different as you're going to find with a radiator in the typical placement. Many race cars will use that location and duct air out the hood. Off-road race vehicles will mount their radiators high in the rear / in the bed of the truck. Some mid / rear engined vehicles will have ducts on the sides of the car after the doors where the radiators are. Boxters have 2radiators in the front corners
All of those hinge on radiator placement. I'm sure with powerful enough fans, lots of ducting, and 7 alternators, it would be possible to draw air in from anywhere around the vehicle, and exhaust it where ever you see fit. You won't come out ahead running your radiator fan vs. a properly sized grill opening. After the losses from the fan converting elcrical power into air flow for the radiator, the alternator turning mechanical energy into electrical power for the fan, and the engine turning fuel into mechanical energy for the alternator. You're better off taking the more direct hit, using the engines power to create the air flow for the radiator
