[200q20v] One of 150?!?

Fellow Listers,

     First of all i would like to thank all of you that responded to my clutch problem, we have determined that the clutch is not slipping and will not be changing it out...lol, thank god.  Here is another thing that caught my attention:  The man whom i purchased this car from said that he had heard from the original owner that it was a special edition...one of only 150 imported to the US...and this "special" designation means that the engine is more powerful and there are some other small differences.  Has anyone heard of any special edition 200TQ's?  And if so, what exactly is it that sets them apart?  are they really a higher performance model?  This sounds cool, but as you can tell I am blatantly ignorant about most things Audi.  I was actually preparing to buy a Turbo Volvo, but then reconsidered, and I'm glad i did...this car is certainly on a different level.  Thanks again for your prompt responses, I appreciate it.
