the only reason quattro is a performance advantage is because the alternative VW/Audi drivetrain is FWD. Same with subaru, mitsu etc.... they are either fwd or rwd.
so clearlly awd>fwd from a performance perspective. It's not because audi engineers "designed" it for performance. and BMW engineers didn't sit around thinking up ways for the system to be safe and good in snow vs high performance. That's just a ludicrous thought. They certainly wouldn't have made it so rear biased (60% Rear by default, increasing to 100%) if they were trying to make it safe and good in snow.
geeze guys really?
