The 2017 Fiat Punto became the first car to ever get zero stars in the European New Car Assessment Programme's crash testing, the safety organization said Wednesday. Word is: The relaunched Punto supermini is the first vehicle to score zero stars since NCAP testing began 20 years ago. A re-release of the 2005 version, the Punto's starless rating was a result of low scores for its crash performance, combined with the absence of key technologies such as Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) and Lane Support Systems, giving it an unprecedented zero-per-cent Safety Assist result.
