It's exhaust insulataion wrapper. Yep looks like alu foil coz outer usually is
Used to keep engine bay temparatures down where their are longish exhust pipe runs.
You can buy it to add to your own car for the final under-the-bonnet rice look

Yes.
Pretty much any sportscar will have some somewhere.
Designers will try to maximise airflow to include engine ( and exhaust ) cooling as part of the exit routes. But it's hard to get it all for nothing. So where hotspots occur, you'll see them add insulation.
Look close at the pipes going from block to turbo and note the turbo body is wrapped to.
BTW, you can also see in the forertgound that the 2 oil pipes are also wrapped. Insulation works in both directions
