Volkswagen Group D platform

The Volkswagen Group D platform is a series of automobile platforms from the German concern Volkswagen Group.

The D1 (also known as the D11[1]) platform was based on a stretched version of the Volkswagen Group C3/C4 platform: The D2 platform is an all aluminium monocoque, based on space frame principles, which helped to significantly reduce weight without being any less rigid.

The D3 platform, also employing an aluminium space frame, was used for the second generation Audi A8, A8L, and S8.

This model combines an aluminium Audi Space Frame (ASF) structure but no longer uses the D platform, but the Audi-developed MLB component matrix.
