Thanks to the use of lightweight carbon and aluminium honeycomb, the race car weighs in at only around 140 kilos (309 pounds)."
Never knew about Aluminum Honeycomb -- before reading this article...
Let's do some quick Google searches for it:
https://www.google.com/search?&q=aluminum+honeycomb&tbm=isch https://www.google.com/search?&q=aluminum+honeycomb&tbm=isch

Yup, apparently "it's a thing"... :-)

What is Aluminum Honeycomb used for?
Aluminium Honeycomb - CEL Components - As core material, aluminium honeycomb is used in sandwich panels and it is utilised in: floors, roofs, doors, partitions, facades, working surfaces for automatic machines, laser jet cutting and for all products which require an optimal stiffness-to-weight-ratio."
>"Aluminium honeycomb is highly desirable due to its incredibly high strength-to-weight ratio and is applicable wherever lightness and strength are required."
So, very interesting!
Another material of the future, no doubt!
(I bet it works great as an electrical ground and/or antenna, too!)
