Another example

It gets so few hits that it may be specific to one company. Here, it appears under "Geometrie".

Zischen means to sizzle or whizz, so I wonder if it means go-faster stripes or some other decorative feature.

It should be "ist", not "sind".

Yet another Audi example

Bei den Modellen der Audi A3- und TT-Familie etwa trägt die Außenschale der Aluminium-Motorhaube zwei scharfe Konturen. Die sogenannten „Zischer“, wie sie intern heißen, entstehen durch eine innovative Technologie des Audi-Werkzeugbaus: die intelligenten Werkzeuge.

The aluminum engine compartment lids of the models in the Audi A3 and TT families, for example, have outer shells with two sharp contours. These “swoosh lines,” as they’re called by people at the company, are created by means of an innovative Audi Toolmaking technology: intelligent tools.
