How does the Quattro all-wheel drive in the Audi R8 improve performance?

I've heard that the Quattro all-wheel drive is one of the key features in the Audi R8 that helps with its legendary performance. Can you explain how it works and why it's important?

The Quattro all-wheel drive in the Audi R8 is able to distribute the engine's power to each wheel independently, providing better traction and grip on the road. This not only improves overall performance but also allows for better handling and control during turns and acceleration.
