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 :)

I tried to put some pics here before, but then I could not find the thread anymore. Just wondering why it was put under European Cars.
Well here are a few I took myself, not high-res but hopefully interesting enough:

Heres for more Honda engine shots.
It's a TL 2.5. I think it's a 1995 model year.
I don't know if you guys get it down in Australia. You might have gotten another badge engineered car.
