Neither the NHTSA nor the IIHAs has yet conducted a safety review of the Audi RS e-tron GT. It's unlikely it will ever happen as cars above a certain price point are hardly smashed into concrete walls.
It's bound to be safe, however. The EV skateboard design allows for better-designed crumple zones at the front and rear. Audi's dedication to safety is demonstrated by the humbler e-tron SUV, which received positive reviews from the NHTSA and a Top Safety Pick + award from the IIHS.
NHTSA safety ratings are not available at this time.
The RS comes as standard with almost every modern driver assistance feature Audi has to offer. Adaptive cruise control, blind-spot assist, front and rear collision mitigation, active lane keep and lane warning assist, rear cross-traffic alert, vehicle exit warning, a head-up display, evasion assist, remote parking via a smartphone app, and a full 360-degree camera system are just a few of the highlights on a very long list.
In addition to all of the above, it has dual front, side, rear side, overhead, and knee airbags, plus pre-tensioning seatbelts, ABS, traction control, and stability control.

At the time of writing, there have been no recalls for 2022 or 2023, which bodes well for reliability impressions.
