What has Audi done with their model naming?

At least its not like it used to be with vauxhall back in the late eighties. the badges almost filled the entire rear!
 
i thought BMW with their model designations were taking the pee, slightly but Audi has gone one off in a completely different direction.

I had to look it up after seeing an A3 30 or was it 35

  • 25 – 80kW (107bhp) and below
  • 30 – 81-96kW (109-129bhp)
  • 35 – 110-120kW (148-161bhp)
  • 40 – 125-150kW (168-201bhp)
  • 45 – 169-185kW (227-248bhp)
  • 50 – 210-230kW (282-308bhp)
  • 55 – 245-275kW (329-369bhp)
Copied from CarMagazine, it still makes no sense?
Looks like the numbers equal the age most people can afford to insure that engine power output :D
