Amazing that Porsche relies on this material for this important feature! This foam can't last forever. Makes one wonder how many important other design features rely on materials that don't age well.

My cousins owned a well known auto auction company (the one Jay Leno bought many of his cars from), so I grew-up around premium classic cars my whole life. Except for the obvious soft material i.e rag tops, upholstery, hoses, tires etc. the important design features were made out of stuff that lasts... mostly metal. When I see materials like this foam on our modern cars it make me wonder if the cars of today can even last long enough to be a "classic".
