Where does all the rear weight come from?

This car has a pretty good weight distribution, as we all know. But when I picture things in my head I see an engine and a transmission with their weight almost completely supported by the front suspension. In the back is the diff and fuel tank (not so heavy). How does this car achieve a near 50 50 weight distribution with almost all of the heavy stuff at or in front of the front wheels? Where does the weight supported by the rear suspension come from?
