V2 is the speed you achieve at or prior to 35 ft height in a takeoff with one engine failed at V1 and using normal rate of rotation at Vr. With all engines operating it is inevitable to pick up more speed during rotation and transition to a steady climb attitude. In a jet you typically end up at V2+10 kt and it is recommended that you keep that speed even in the event of a later engine failure.
