how does 4WD work on a C4(S)/turbo 996?

oka, no prizes for the obvious answer which is "very well" ;)

but seriously, AIUI, 5% of the drive goes to the front wheels under normal driving conditions, but this can be increased to 40% in certain circumstances. i have it in my head that this only happens when the rears start to slip (i.e. when the rears are spinning faster than the fronts....think i read it somewhere). is this the case? if so, surely that should mean that it is significantly more difficult to power oversteer an AWD 996 than a RWD one.

or is the car "cleverer" than that, detecting cornering G/yaw angle a la evos and scoobies etc?

I'm no expert in the technology, but everyone says the C2 is a 'purer' car to drive. I guess that means its easier to get the back end out - I know I can :)
