Looks amazing, but why is there such a gap between the front bumper and the hood? Is that to serve the purpose of a grille without actually having one?

It is one of the six intakes at the front of the car. 3 are on the hood alone. The V10 needs a lot of air being a typical Yamaha developed high revving engine.

There are three intakes in the hood (one at the front, two nostrills at the top of the hood) and there are three intakes in the bumper (two on the sides of the bumper and one in the center mesh grille).

^^ The the two top nostrils on the hood are not intakes ..

They are vents for the "Heat Risers" -> which draw heat from the exhaust manifold to be exhausted through those two hood vents.
