VW Valkyrie Preview

 

VOLKSWAGEN VALKYRIE

The Future of Performance, Engineered in Wolfsburg.

INTRODUCTION

The VW Valkyrie is the most advanced performance vehicle ever to wear the Volkswagen badge — a super‑sports car born from the company’s motorsport heritage and its relentless pursuit of engineering excellence. Developed by Volkswagen Technik, the Valkyrie blends precision German craftsmanship with breakthrough technologies that redefine the driving experience.

POWERTRAIN PORTFOLIO

Seven Ways to Experience Pure Performance.

  • Solid-state battery architecture

Tri-Motor Performance — Valkyrie eR-Quad

  • 900 hp

  • Independent dual rear motors for precision control

  • 0–60 mph in the low 2-second range





SOUNDSHIFT™ TECHNOLOGY

Your Voice. Your Gear. Your Command.

The Valkyrie introduces SoundShift™, Volkswagen’s revolutionary voice‑activated shifting system. Developed using motorsport-grade acoustic engineering, SoundShift allows drivers to command the transmission without lifting a hand from the wheel.

How It Works

  • A beamforming microphone array isolates the driver’s voice even at high speed.

  • Commands such as “Shift up,” “Shift down,” “Hold gear,” or “Overtake mode” are recognized instantly.

  • Integrated with the Valkyrie’s dual‑clutch gearbox or electric torque mapping.

Why It Matters

  • Enhances control during high‑G cornering.

  • Reduces driver workload in dynamic situations.

  • Maintains full engagement without distraction.

Safety Integration

  • Requires a wake phrase: “Volks shift.”

  • Automatically ignores commands during instability events.

  • Reverts to manual paddles if conditions require.

HOLOGRAPHIC INSTRUMENT DISPLAY

Information That Floats. Focus That Never Breaks.

The Valkyrie debuts Volkswagen’s HoloView™ Light‑Field Display, a next‑generation instrument cluster that projects layered, three‑dimensional information above the dashboard.

Key Features

  • Multi‑layer holographic projection with adjustable depth.

  • Foreground: speed, tachometer, essential data.

  • Mid‑layer: navigation, driver assistance cues.

  • Background: performance telemetry, temps, boost, energy flow.

Driver Benefits

  • Reduced eye strain thanks to road‑matched focal distance.

  • Faster information processing during high-speed driving.

  • Full compatibility with polarized sunglasses.

Customization Modes

  • Classic Analog (floating dials)

  • Bauhaus Minimalist

  • Track Telemetry

  • EV Energy Flow

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

A New Icon for a New Era.

The Valkyrie’s exterior blends aerodynamic purity with unmistakable Volkswagen design language. Sharp creases, functional vents, and a low-slung stance communicate purpose without excess. Inside, the cockpit is a fusion of motorsport minimalism and futuristic clarity — every surface designed for the driver.

THE VALKYRIE EXPERIENCE

Precision. Innovation. Emotion.

The Volkswagen Valkyrie is more than a supercar. It is a statement of intent — a demonstration of what happens when German engineering discipline meets visionary technology. Whether powered by combustion, hybrid, or electric systems, the Valkyrie delivers a driving experience that feels intuitive, intelligent, and unmistakably Volkswagen.

Remembering a Friend...

  Not too long ago, I logged onto there.com and began browsing the event schedule. I was shocked to see a buggy event listed as a tribute to Lars_lars, who had passed away in early November 2025. I do not know the details of his passing, but what I and everyone else in this world do know is he was taken from us much too soon. In one of my last chats with Lars, we discussed the resurgence of there.com this past May and summer. We talked about the influx of new people, some of whom stayed on and others who were mostly virtual tourists passing by. In the comments section of Glob's massively popular Youtube video, Lars expressed thanks to him for rejuvenating our world.   In 2018, some friends and I decided to attend a prom event on there. We were supposed to be a group of three couples, but my friend Phebe's date was unfortunately a no-show. I felt bad for Phebe since it was shaping up to be a fun-filled night, and her date had pretty much ruined the event for her. In a stroke o...

Odds and Ends...

  Now that the Fair is over, I wanted to look back and reflect on all the activities and events of the past couple weeks. I am really glad I decided to share my event space with diaryainzon and her Writing Club. I had a pretty large lot at one end of the fairgrounds, and collaborating with Di made things a lot more fun. Her gypsy-caravan vibe was a nice contrast to my event space that featured sports events, podcasts, and movies on a somewhat regular basis. My watch party for the Steelers-Texans game was a highlight during the fair. We started out with a small group of fans, some wearing Steelers gear. More people joined throughout the evening, and others drifted through and chatted for a while before departing. Geomite showed up wearing a number 77 Steelers jersey, and he proceeded to give the ladies in attendance black-and-gold cheerleading outfits. Amen, brother! Droopy & Orielle rode up on a scooter and promoted Droopy Radio before skadoodling away. "Skadoodling" is ...
