Well, the production car has a top-mounted intercooler, and the i/c intake scoop, but no huge radiator exhaust vent. There, the i/c vent is used to cool the i/c.
The WRC car has a front-mounted intercooler and radiator, thus the huge radiator exhaust vent. So, in all likelihood, the top i/c intake scoop on the WRC car is cosmetic only -- to make it look like the production car. Or maybe they use it to blow the manifold clean...
