It was designed by Italian design firm Rodolfo Bonetto.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.olivari.it/uk/designers/bonetto.html |title=OLIVARI - Rodolfo Bonetto |publisher=Olivari.it |access-date=2009-10-12 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090827182700/http://www.olivari.it/uk/designers/bonetto.html |archive-date=2009-08-27 }}</ref> It is constructed by robot assembly plants ("Robogate") to reduce costs. The FIRE series replaced the old Fiat [[Fiat 100 series engine|100 series]] [[overhead valve engine]]s in the mid-1980s. Mechanically, they are simple [[straight-four engine]]s with five [[main bearing]]s [[crankshaft]] and [[overhead cam]] heads. Since 1985, it has been constructed in different versions. Displacements range from {{cvt|769|to|1368|cc|L cuin|1|order=flip}}. In addition to the 8 valve versions, there are "Super-FIRE" {{cvt|1242|and|1368|cc|L cuin|1|order=flip}} [[Multi-valve#Four valves|16 valve]] versions. The "Super-FIRE" which uses 16 valves and is available in {{cvt|999|cc|L cuin|1|order=flip}} (Brazil) and {{cvt|1242|cc|L cuin|1|order=flip}} (Brazil & Europe) displacements. The {{cvt|1368|cc|L cuin|1|order=flip}} variation introduced in 2003 is available in both 8 and 16 valves. In 2005 Fiat introduced a version of the 16v incorporating [[variable length intake manifold|port deactivation]] (PDA) and [[exhaust gas recirculation]] (EGR). This unit is frequently referred to as the "StarJet" engine. One year later, a [[turbocharged]] variety of the StarJet was introduced under the name "T-Jet", and a [[Multiair|MultiAir]] (adding electro-hydraulic intake valve driving, with variable timing, lift and profile) version was added in 2009, available in either [[naturally aspirated]] and turbocharged forms. It reached 190 PS on the Abarth 695 Biposto. The FIRE was originally a [[carburetor|carbureted]] engine, and later progressed to [[single-point injection]] (SPI), then to [[multi-point fuel injection]] (MPI), using [[sequential multi-port fuel injection]] (SMPI) today. It is now used in the [[750 Formula]] in a slightly modified state. Brazilian production started in 2000 with the "Super-FIRE" 1.2 16V (80 PS), was extended until 2006 with 1.0 8V (54 PS), 1.0 16V (69 PS), 1.2 8V (66 PS) and 1.4 8V (80 PS). By 2016, the two "last Super-FIRE" being produced in Brazil were the reworked (New pistons and crankshaft) 1.0 8V (77 PS) and the 1.4 8V VVT (90 PS), both running on petrol or ethanol fuels. Starting in 2016, it is being replaced by the [[Fiat Global Small Engine|GSE (FireFly)]] engine family.
