How does the Audi R8's Quattro all-wheel drive system differ from conventional AWD systems?

I know the R8 has Quattro all-wheel drive, but how does it work and what makes it different from other AWD systems on the market?

The Audi R8's Quattro AWD system uses a mechanical center differential to distribute torque between the front and rear axles, allowing for better handling and traction in different driving conditions. This is different from other AWD systems which use electronic controls or clutches to distribute torque.

In addition to the mechanical center differential, the Audi R8's Quattro AWD system also monitors several sensors and adjusts torque distribution on a continuous basis, providing optimal grip and stability. This makes it stand out from conventional AWD systems that only react to wheel slippage.

The Quattro AWD system is also unique in that it uses a 40:60 rear bias, giving the Audi R8 a more dynamic and sporty feel compared to other AWD vehicles that typically have a more conservative front bias.
