How does the Audi R8's Quattro 4-wheel drive system work?

I am a car enthusiast and have always been intrigued by the Audi R8's 4-wheel drive system. Can someone explain how it works and why it is considered superior to other systems?

The Quattro 4-wheel drive system in the Audi R8 uses a center differential to distribute power between the front and rear wheels. It constantly monitors traction and can send up to 100% power to either axle as needed.

Compared to traditional front or rear-wheel drive systems, the Quattro 4-wheel drive in the Audi R8 provides better handling and stability in wet or slippery conditions. It allows for more precise and balanced power distribution for optimal performance.
