It's due to the (il)logic of grammar really... a 5ktq is an "Audi Five
Thousand Turbo Quattro" from the factory. a 4kqt is an "Audi Four
Thousand Quattro" plus "Turbo". There were never any "Audi Four
Thousand Turbo Quattro"'s - though for the life of me I can't figure out
why. What a hell raiser that car would be, I mean, is. The one Audi
for which the build numbers keep increasing!
PS, I give up, what does "sleipoins" mean?
