You can use a much smaller front intake, perhaps a small thermostatically open-able chin intake where you can reduce under-car flow,, to vent the hot engine compartment air out behind the front wheels, where there is a low pressure area.

That's a bag of cats.
Maybe you should find some historic examples of what you are talking about, probably looking in early 1970's racing and read why they may have failed.
Maybe a living example can be found in one of
today's race cars.
Someone is going to mention one of the Ford Probe cars, maybe the IV..........let us know what you find.
I personally think radiators like high pressure areas to force air though their gills, lower pressure at the tail end of the car maybe isn't all that attractive from an engineering efficiency standpoint.
