Etymology

The term 'fastback' originated in the automotive industry during the mid-20th century, specifically in the 1930s and 1940s. It was used to describe a new style of car that emphasized a streamlined design with a roofline that smoothly transitions to the rear. This design was influenced by advances in aerodynamics and the growing popularity of performance-oriented vehicles. Manufacturers began to adopt the fastback design to improve the aesthetic appeal of their models, as well as their performance characteristics, especially in racing contexts. Over the decades, fastbacks became iconic in car culture, associated with speed and style. The design has evolved but remains a significant element in automotive aesthetics.
