English term or phrase: Sloping back

"It’s the classic sports car layout of front engine, rear wheel drive, long bonnet and a sloping back"
Comment appelle-t-on cette caractéristique des voitures de course ? J'avais pensé à "profil fluide", mais ici, on parle de la forme de l'arrière de la voiture, et non de l'ensemble. Quelqu'un a une idée ? Merci !

sloping back fuyant

Explanation:
used in some descriptions if I a not mistaken 'incliné' could also be used, for a sprts car, 'fuyant' would probobly be more suited

I guess I should have put the entire thing, which would be 'arrière fuyant'. Sorry about that!
