What is Audi R8's all-wheel drive system and how does it work?

I am interested in learning more about the Audi R8's unique all-wheel drive system. How does it differ from other sports cars and what advantages does it offer?

The Audi R8 is equipped with a sophisticated all-wheel drive system called quattro, which distributes power dynamically between the front and rear wheels for optimum traction and handling.

Unlike traditional all-wheel drive systems, Audi R8's quattro utilizes a mechanical center differential and electronically controlled limited-slip rear differential to continuously vary torque distribution based on driving conditions. This allows for precise and responsive handling.
