CRASH
DATANot crash-tested
The Audi R8 is a mid-engine exotic sports car that competes at the top of the performance two-seater segment. Aimed squarely at enthusiast buyers who want a daily-usable supercar with German engineering polish, the R8 pairs a naturally aspirated V10 with available all-wheel drive. It is a low-volume, high-price machine, and its safety profile reflects that niche reality.
The 2022 Audi R8 has not been crash-tested by NHTSA, so it carries no Safety Index. Its safety record here is built from 1 recall and 0 owner complaints on file, giving it a light recall and complaint burden.

Reviewers generally celebrate the R8 as one of the most visceral and approachable supercars on the market, praising its high-revving V10 engine, composed all-wheel-drive handling, and surprisingly livable interior. Most acknowledge it sits at a premium price point but consider the driving experience and build quality to be genuine justifications for that positioning.
