Updated: 10/23/2022

The engine sits at the front of the car, underneath the hood, bolted directly to the gear box. From the gear box there are two drive shafts, one to either side. The front wheels are connected to the drive shafts via special joints which allow the wheels to swivel(as you turn the steering wheel) while still being powered by the engine.
