The present invention relates to a wind turbine comprising a nacelle, the nacelle having a substantially longitudinal extension, a height extension and a width extension, comprising a front end, a rear end, a bottom part, a top part and side parts, and being adapted to house a number of wind turbine components, which wind turbine components are supported by an internal support structure, the support structure comprising at least a main foundation which is positioned at the front end of the nacelle, and a rear frame which is connected to the main foundation at one end and extends from the main foundation towards the rear end of the nacelle. The main foundation comprises at least one foundation connection area, the foundation connection area being positioned where the rear frame is connected to the main foundation, the foundation connection area comprising at least a first face and a second face, the second face being displaced in a longitudinal direction, a height direction and/or a width direction of the nacelle in relation to a position of the first face on the main foundation, and the rear frame being connected to the main foundation via connections at least via the first face and the second face, respectively, of the foundation connection area.
