The
FIRE - Fully Integrated Robotised Engine engine was designed by the famous Italian design firm of
Rodolfo Bonetto and is constructed by robot assembly plants ("Robogate") to reduce costs. The FIRE series replaced the old Fiat OHV engine since 1985. In india, it was introduced through FIAT UNO (if I recall correctly). FIRE engine has been constructed in different versions from 769 cc to 1368 cc with 8 valves. There is another version called the
Super-FIRE which uses 16 valves and is available in 999 cc (Brazil) and 1242 cc (Brazil & Europe) displacements. Another version, called
