 How does these new AWD systems work

hey how do these new AWD systems work when you open the bonnet and the engine is E - W in the FWD position, where does the transfer case connect to on the gearbox? And why dont the back wheels ever spin in a burnout and only the front wheels do, im confused, im only familiar with 4WD and RWD systems, where the engine is N - S and the transfer case is bolted to the end of the transmission and the rear is always live as well as the front (like a Nissan Skyline, i think) OR the front diff is controlled by a lever attached to the transfer case, like a Landcruiser, can i get an answer

i beleive that some arent exactly 4wd, but FWD with rear assist... for example, the r32 GTR is a RWD with front assist if the rears slip. thats why you can make them RWD by the infamous "taking the fuse out"
this disables the system that detects slippage so it doesnt engage the front wheels.
as far as where the transfer case is, i wouldnt have a clue, i still dont know how the fuck MR and FF gearboxes work 
hope this helps...

The Subaru WRX has issues when you have just the right amount of power, only the front wheels will spin...
The reason for this is the torque distribution...
To avoid destroying tyres and removing understeer, a AWD car is setup with a torque split (Does vary) and hence the fronts get more "rpm" and will break traction easily, whilst the rear wheels push it along...
