I expect not but just good old plastic!
I thought the same, but a friend who is an aerospace engineer said it looked like it might actually be CF so I had to ask

I thought that Porsche pen was special, until a buddy showed me a picture of the exact same pen he got from Honda...

I dont understand the fascination with carbon fiber. I also come from the aerospace industry where its use in applications where it makes the impossible become possible is something to behold. The use of carbon fiber as a decoration is strange in so many automotive applications.

While I wouldn’t exactly classify the decorative use of carbon fiber as a violent act against humanity but I would have much preferred a real wood inlay…. on the pen at least. The blend of a little old school with this new age vehicle would have been pretty cool.

Again, “Porsche if you are listening….”
