How does the aerodynamic design of the Audi R8 contribute to its performance?

I've always heard that the Audi R8 has incredible handling and speed on the track. Can you explain how the car's aerodynamic design helps in achieving this performance?

The Audi R8's aerodynamic design is a result of extensive wind tunnel testing and engineering precision. Its low and wide body, combined with a rear wing and front splitter, generates downforce and reduces drag, allowing for faster acceleration and better handling.
