How does the Audi R8 stabilizer bar work?

I've heard that stabilizer bars are important for handling and stability in high-performance cars like the Audi R8. Can someone explain how exactly it works and why it's necessary?

The Audi R8's stabilizer bar, also known as sway bar or anti-roll bar, helps to reduce body roll and improve handling during turns. It connects the two wheels on the same axle and transfers forces between them, helping to distribute the car's weight more evenly.

In simpler terms, the stabilizer bar keeps the car level when turning by resisting the uneven weight distribution. This improves overall stability and control of the car, especially at high speeds.

To give an analogy, imagine a tightrope walker using a long pole to maintain balance. In the same way, the Audi R8's stabilizer bar keeps the car balanced and in control during maneuvers.
