Porsche 911

/POR-shuh nine-EL-ev-un/  n.
  1. 1. A rear-engined German sports car whose hindquarters, observed from astern in any quality of light, present a silhouette so rounded and deliberately wide at the hips that automotive journalists have been losing their composure about it, in print, since 1963.
  2. 2. colloq. Rear-heavy by design, rear-heavy by destiny. Ferdinand Porsche's engineers put the engine over the back axle and the back axle never forgot it. She sits low, she sits wide, and the widest part is the part facing away from you.
In a sentence:

"The Porsche 911 at the end of the row was so thiccc from the rear that three separate people slowed their cars to look, and one of them was already in a Porsche. The haunches do not ask permission."

Etymology:

From Ferdinand Porsche (Austrian-German automotive engineer, 1875-1951, founder of the eponymous Stuttgart marque) and the model designation 911, assigned in 1964 after Peugeot contested the original '901' numbering. The extra digit changed nothing about the back end.
