HERE'S THE DEAL:
The proof is in the pictures. You indeed have a Sport model. Look at the picture of your console, and you can see that the gear selector is both tiptronic and has both the "D" and the "S" positions: that "S" stands for "Sport" mode. When you use "S", the car will allow each gear to rev to much higher-than-normal RPM's, allowing you more "sporty" acceleration, and overall a more powerful feel to your car.
Oddly, your car does not have the black lower portions on the body, which is new to me. I've never seen a Sport model that didn't include the black lowers as standard equipment. I HAVE seen cases where owners pay to have the black lowers removed/changed so that the lowers perfectly match the body color, and effectively disappear as if they were never on the car to begin with. Wordy.... Anyway, your suspension appears to be non-Sport as well as your tire/wheel package, so perhaps they are not the original set that came with your car..? Have you ever carfaxed your car or used a similar vehicle history check? I actually googled my VIN# and a single hit came up...what do you know, it was a six-month-old web-ad for MY car for sale at the VW dealer who took my car as a trade-in from the only prior owner PRIOR to the AUDI dealer (same dealer group/family) taking possession, certifying it (yay!), and selling it to me! Again with the wordiness... I love me a good run-on sentence.
Back to the topic...yes, yours IS a Sport model.
Now go try it out!!!!!

OKAY EVERYONE LISTEN UP......MY A4 IS NOT A SPORT PACKAGE A4 IT IS INSTEAD A 2005 AUDI 1.8T QUATTRO/SPEC EDIT (AKA: SPECIAL EDITION). Thus the special added features and such. I got this info via the carfax report. I skimmed over the top part when they gave it to me and went right to the title problems / other information section.
