Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

It is this Bontrager bar;

It is very expensive. You can in fact just buy a flat bar and put bar-end extensions on it for the same effect. Just slide them towards the middle of the bar, and put the brake levers on further to the outside.

I can't find aluminum ones on the Trek or Bontrager sites. Such a bar made of aluminum would require welds and so on and would be just as heavy as a flat bar with bar-ends attached. So there is really no reason to do it. Carbon, on the other hand, can be formed into that shape in one piece (basically).
