Your car was probably originally ordered in Germany.  At one time, you could 
order mix and match features - about the only impossible option was air 
conditioning on a diesel.  But you could have the smallest engine with a 
sunroof, or the largest without.  This was _never_ possible in countries like 
the UK or USA, where a certain amount of "marketing" led to options being sold 
in packages.
 
The quattro drive train, for instance, is not available on the A4 today in the 
UK unless you take the 2.8 engine.  The 1.8TQ is not marketed here.
