I guess a possible argument for development process is all the front bumper ducts that aren't hooked up. You can see the wiper fluid reservoir on the passenger side. It's also possible that some dude just used a hole saw to cut a bunch of holes in his front bumper for additional cooling without hooking up any ducting.
At this stage in the new model's development, if it's being created on a very similar base to the existing model, it makes sense to test new components in the existing 370. Why wouldn't you?
