The “material” looks like your run of the mill plastic. The secret sauce is in the lattice structure as the engineer explicitly stated? My Japanese is rusty (non-existing to be precise, except ‘domo arigato, Mr Roboto’) and I still fail to see how this is NOT exciting?

Anything to add lightness on a car is a good thing, IMO. Even the MZ4 Coupe and the Corvette, both could stand to shed 200#s if you ask me.
And this sound deadening material is safe for today - and tomorrow.
