Nope. The sport was based on the early coupe/80 pan. It is actually the 
coupe with 12.6" taken out from behind the B pillar.
If you look at one next to an ur-q, the first thing you notice is the 
windshield angle. The sport is 2-3 degrees steeper that the ur-q/4k.
Also, the sport has the exact same doors and A pillars as the early 4k

Todd.

OK. I stand corrected on the pan, I thought it was based on the 4KQ/ur-q pan.
Why would Audi go to all the trouble of modifying the old 4K pan?

I do realise that the Q Sport uses the 4K front glass & angle, roofline and doors, but that does not automatically mean that they could not have used the 4KQ/ur-q pan......does it?

Anyone know why Audi used the 4K non-q pan?
