Fastback
This classic
Ford Mustang has a fastback body style.
A four door fastback body style.
Fastback is a form of automobile body characterised by a smoothly
sloped back. Fastbacks can be two-door
coupés or
four-door sedans.
There is no separate volume for the trunk area of the car.
The fastback can be visually confused with the
hatchback
or combi
coupé, which has a rear door, instead of the fixed window and separate trunk
of a fastback.
Fastbacks are often designed for dramatic impact, but the form is also an
advantage in developing
aerodynamic vehicles with a low drag coefficient.
