To perfect performance is to perfect safety.
To perfect (car) performance is to perfect safety.
走り, I believe, is synonymous with 走ること or 走り具合(性能) of a vehicle in this case. This seems to be a part of copywriting made by manufacturer/distributor, so I would use the word (car) performance.
極める to master, to perfect
For copywriting, I would use "to perfect" because it sounds more convincing than saying, "to master".

Is this sentence about a car?

: I think this could work, but "reaching to" is awkward. Maybe use "striving for" instead?

A master of driving drives safe.
Sounds too simple? I want to see more interesting ideas our fellow bullies may come out with. And in the meantime, let me get back to the World Cup to see how our team kicks against the stronger-than-expected Turk Eleven.

To master driving is to master safety.
I don't know; this may sound a little bit too much like a modern-day Confucius...
