It's only pronounced as a v if the v is in turn pronounced as a w.
It's not as if they pronounce volksvagen with the same letter twice, though a German with a specific accent or speech impediment might. |
When I was taught German in school, I learnt that "v" was pronounced similarly to "f", so that Volkswagen would be pronounced "Folksvaagen".
