The car was running though so i didn't touch it.

Yes, plastic for many years. Very smooth, light and no need to port like metal.

That's not so unusual. GM has plastic intake runners on its 2.4 16v 4 cylinders. Plastic engine parts are pretty common in general. Cam covers and intake manifolds are two main ones. I recall a company in Germany was working on ceramic pistons at one point. I think non-metal engine parts are gonna revolutionise the engine business in the near future.
