How does the Audi R8's all-wheel drive system help with handling and performance?

I've heard that the Audi R8 has a unique all-wheel drive system. Can you explain how it works and how it benefits the car's handling and performance?

The Audi R8's all-wheel drive system, known as quattro, uses a combination of sensors and electronic controls to constantly monitor and adjust power distribution between the front and rear axles. This results in improved traction and stability, especially in inclement weather or on challenging road conditions.
