Well I always thought that only cars with ESP could acheive a 5 star ncap rating. However, I am now thinking that only cars with the option to spec ESP are awarded 5 stars. I heard it on a motoring program a while back, maybe fifth gear. :conf

Found it! :roll:

"Do all 5-star cars have ESC?
For a car to be awarded 5 stars, ESC must be at least optionally available on all of the tested model variants on sale in the EU-27. Moreover, ESC must be present on 90% or more of all variants sold in the EU-27. Currently, Euro NCAP does not test or compare the performance of various ESC systems, but has compared the performance of cars with and without ESC."

That is from Euro NCAP webpage on ESC(ESP).
