The one BIG difference is aerodynamics. These cars are very slippery and have a lot of wind tunnel time to perfect the intakes of their radiators. The shape of the car guides air into the radiators very effectively. You just can't compare the shape of a bug to any of those cars. Also, I'm pretty sure not all those cars rely on sidemount radiators (I think only Lambo), a lot of them will be just air intakes to help cool/feed the engines.
