The platform basics are a MacPherson strut suspension in front and 3-link solid axle in the rear with a Panhard rod.

These components include the floor pans, portions of the transmission tunnel, the front frame rails, and basic fuel tank design.

These include Ford's global C1 platform, with which D2C shares front strut and rear trailing arm components.

[citation needed] The next D2C-based Mustang[1] was launched in Model Year 2015[2] with the new S550, adding an independent rear suspension (IRS).

[3][4] In 2023, the S650 became the third iteration of the Mustang to use the D2C platform,[5] and featured several upgrades including new stabilizers, lower control arms, rear suspension links, shocks, and springs.
