No it will be called the Q7 (some say Q6). You are showing pics of some Q5 impressions, but the spy pic above is one of the Audi Q7. The Q5 (based in the Audi A4) will be a competitor for the X3, but it's not sure this car will be launched, although one testmule has been spotted a while ago. If they are planning on producing this one, you won't see it before 2007 I guess.
The Q7 will be launched late 2005, as a competitor for the BMW X5, Porsche Cayenne, VW Touareg, Range Rover, Mercedes M-Class, etc. Engines will be: a 3.2 V6, a 4.2 V8, a 3.0 V6 TDI, a 4.0 V8 TDI and maybe a 3.7 V8, a 5.0 V10, and 6.0 W12. The 5.0 V10 will be probably a sportier model, called the SQ7 (Audi registered all names form Q3 to Q8, and SQ3 to SQ8 a few months ago)
The Q7 will look quite a lot like the Pikes Peak concept car.
Some extra pics (don't get fooled by the strange logo or the fake rear lights):
BTW, the pic above is a possibly a photoshopped one, like the following ones:
