More grip, yes. However with a small increase the gain is offset by the extra weight an AWD system comes with, not to mention the power loss in drivetrain to four wheels instead of two.
Weight still trumps all. A semi truck has 1500+tq driven by 6 wheels usually... Just to show you can have all the grip and torque in the world it means nothing if weight is not factored into the equation.
Apologies for the negative opening line in my last post. Intentions were only to clarify that hp and tq are false metrics without weight factored in regards to speed.
