Gold is an excellent conductor of electricity which makes it well suited for a performance plug. However gold is also a very soft metal, therefore the gold alloy is mixed with palladium, (a much harder metal), to form a premium fine wire performance plug with increased ignitability and durability.
Ngk's only has two gold palladium plugs (that I can think of at the moment) and they are made for powersport applications - motorcycles, race karts, etc.
